Sean Stein, chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, delivered a keynote speech at a gathering where ministerial and provincial leaders met with guests from multinationals on Aug 27, reaffirming the enduring appeal of the Chinese market to foreign investors. He acknowledged that while the pace of growth may have slowed compared to previous years, China's manufacturing efficiency, skilled workforce, and vast market size continue to be highly attractive to global companies. Stein shared a personal anecdote about a major foreign investor who chose to invest in a particular region in China despite being offered fewer incentives compared to other places. "By continuing to modernize its business environment and maintaining transparency and efficiency, and by implementing announced and planned reforms," he said, "China can continue to make the country more attractive to foreign investors."
