Real meaning of opening-up, rebalancing

Foreign companies need to seize the opportunities to adapt to the new direction of China's industrial restructuring. This they have to do while adjusting the strategic layout for future investment in the country. For, the Chinese economy will continue to fare well despite external uncertainties.

To embrace the coexisting opportunities and challenges in the Chinese market, some major concerns among foreign dealmakers are whether China will experience an economic downturn; whether China will revisit its opening-up policy and set up additional restrictions or even take reciprocity actions on certain foreign investment, in light of the current international economic and political situations.

Such concerns are quite unnecessary. There is nothing in the current policy orientation in China that should dent the confidence of foreign investors.
