Investment good for both sides

The world's largest economies should promote direct input in each others' businesses and help the global recovery

In recent years, China has emerged to be one of the largest investors in the world. Its ascent has been extremely rapid. As of 2010, China's outbound direct investment stood at $317.2 billion. This is still small in terms of the global total because China only started to invest abroad very recently.

The United States is an important destination of China's overseas investment.
