B&R, digital to drive ODI

Strategic, focused investments to help optimize overseas moves

Outbound direct investment of China is expected to rise at a healthy rate this year, particularly in areas like digital economy, high-end manufacturing and sectors related to the Belt and Road Initiative, said officials and experts.

China's ongoing policy adjustment will ensure ODI grows to keep pace with ongoing industrial upgrade and supply-side structural reform, as well as closer business ties with countries and regions participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, they said.
