Foreign investors target China's domestic market

China remains a magnet for foreign investors seeking its huge internal market, especially after the country's economic boom over the past decade.

After China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, its reform and opening-up became a passive move under the WTO rules, said Li Xiaogang, director of the Foreign Investment Research Center at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences.

Since then, China has made perfecting its regulatory mechanism a top priority, with foreign investors benefiting from the country's globalization. Over the next decade, foreign investors will be affected by China's economic structural reform, he said.
