扩增量，利用外资上台阶
Expand the amount and make use of foreign capital to a higher level
新年伊始，外资企业加紧布局中国市场。
At the beginning of the new year, foreign-funded enterprises stepped up the layout of the Chinese market.
1月，在广东省惠州市仲恺高新区，安姆科广东惠州基地正在开足马力生产。最近，总部位于瑞士苏黎世的消费品包装公司安姆科投资10亿元建成的全球软包装样板工厂正式投产，一期年产值将达8亿元。
In January, in Zhongkai High-tech Zone, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, AMCO Guangdong Huizhou Base was operating at full capacity.

The annual output value of Phase I will reach 800 million yuan.
与此同时，位于江苏省苏州高铁新城的中荷（苏州）科技创新港项目现场繁忙有序，办公塔楼里的配套设备正在抓紧施工安装。未来这里将搭建起中荷两国光电技术、生物医药、汽车高端零部件等多个领域的交流合作平台，2023年有望正式投产启用。
At the same time, the site of the Sino-Dutch (Suzhou) Science and Technology Innovation Port project, located in Suzhou High-speed Railway New City, Jiangsu Province, is busy and orderly, and the supporting equipment in the office tower is under construction and installation. In the future, there will be a platform for exchanges and cooperation between China and the Netherlands in the fields of optoelectronic technology, biomedicine, high-end auto parts and other fields, which is expected to be officially put into operation in 2023.
今年第一季度，美国3M公司将在安徽省合肥工厂建成一条热失控屏障转换生产线，生产的产品应用于电动汽车的电池系统，能有效提高电池热管理性能。越来越多先进产品将装备中国新能源汽车。
In the first quarter of this year, 3M will build a thermal runaway barrier conversion production line in Hefei, Anhui Province. The products produced will be applied to the battery system of electric vehicles, which can effectively improve the thermal management performance of batteries. More and more advanced products will be equipped with new energy vehicles in China.
习近平总书记在党的二十大报告中指出：“推进高水平对外开放。”“合理缩减外资准入负面清单，依法保护外商投资权益，营造市场化、法治化、国际化一流营商环境。”
In the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Secretary Xi pointed out that "we should promote high-level opening to the outside world." "We should reasonably reduce the negative list of foreign investment access, protect the rights and interests of foreign investment in accordance with the law, and create a market-oriented, law-based, and internationalized first-class business environment."
中央经济工作会议指出：“更大力度促进外资稳存量、扩增量，培育国际经贸合作新增长点”。
The Central Economic Working Conference pointed out that "greater efforts should be made to promote the stability and expansion of foreign investment and cultivate new growth points in international economic and trade cooperation".
外资企业是我国重要的市场主体，更大力度促进外资稳存量、扩增量，是我国扩大高水平对外开放的重要举措，也是服务构建新发展格局的应有之义。
Foreign-funded enterprises are an important market subject in China. Greater efforts to promote the stable stock and expansion of foreign capital are important measures for China to expand its high-level opening up, and are also necessary to serve the construction of a new development pattern.
依托超大规模市场优势，以国内大循环吸引全球资源要素，营造市场化、法治化、国际化一流营商环境，更加开放的中国不断以自身新发展为世界提供新机遇，持续成为外资企业眼里的投资热土。2022年，我国实际使用外资金额12326.8亿元，按可比口径同比增长6.3%，保持稳定增长。
Relying on the advantages of the super-scale market, attracting global resource elements with the domestic circulation, and creating a market-oriented, law-based, and international first-class business environment, a more open China continues to provide new opportunities for the world with its own new development, and continues to become a hot spot for investment in the eyes of foreign enterprises. In 2022, China's actual use of foreign capital amounted to 1232.68 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.3% on a comparable basis, maintaining a stable growth.
稳中有增，引资量质齐升
Increase in stability, increase in quantity and quality of foreign investment
作为我国开放程度最高、经济活力最强的区域之一，粤港澳大湾区是观察我国利用外资动向的窗口。
As one of the regions with the highest degree of openness and the strongest economic vitality in China, Dawan District of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao is a window to observe the trend of utilizing foreign capital in China.
2022年12月21日，由粤港澳三地政府联合举办的首届粤港澳大湾区全球招商大会拉开帷幕，吸引了全球数百家企业，涉及先进制造、生物科技、新一代信息技术等产业领域，最终达成合作项目853个、投资总额2.5万亿元。
On December 21, 2022, the first Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Greater Bay Area Global Investment Promotion Conference jointly held by the governments of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao opened, attracting hundreds of enterprises from around the world, involving advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, new generation information technology and other industrial fields, and finally reached 853 cooperation projects with a total investment of 2.5 trillion yuan.
招商大会上，西门子能源宣布，西门子能源（深圳）有限公司正式注册成立。“这几年，我们见证了粤港澳大湾区打造‘国际一流湾区’的愿景正在从蓝图变为现实。”西门子能源全球高级副总裁姚振国说，“西门子能源将以开放务实的心态，创新合作模式，积极支持粤港澳大湾区的能源转型。”
At the investment promotion conference, Siemens Energy announced that Siemens Energy (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. was officially registered. "In recent years, we have witnessed that the vision of building a 'world-class bay area' in the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao is changing from a blueprint to a reality." Yao Zhenguo, senior vice president of Siemens Energy, said, "Siemens Energy will actively support the energy transformation of the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao with an open and pragmatic attitude and innovative cooperation mode."
近年来，尽管外部环境纷繁复杂，但我国利用外资保持稳定增长。2022年，在2021年实际使用外资金额首次突破万亿元高基数基础上，我国吸引外资实现稳中有增、量质齐升，保持稳中向好态势——
In recent years, despite the complex external environment, China's utilization of foreign capital has maintained a steady growth. In 2022, on the basis of the fact that the amount of foreign capital actually used in 2021 will break through the high base of trillion yuan for the first time, China's foreign investment attraction will achieve a steady increase, both in quantity and quality, and maintain a stable and positive trend——
引资结构不断升级。2022年，高技术产业实际使用外资增长28.3%，占全国36.1%，较2021年提升7.1个百分点，其中电子及通信设备制造、科技成果转化服务、信息服务分别增长56.8%、35%、21.3%。
The structure of attracting investment has been constantly upgraded. In 2022, the actual use of foreign capital in high-tech industries increased by 28.3%, accounting for 36.1% of the country, 7.1 percentage points higher than that in 2021, of which the manufacturing of electronic and communication equipment, transformation services of scientific and technological achievements and information services increased by 56.8%, 35% and 21.3% respectively.
“这说明我国产业转型升级成效显著，已形成与全球高技术产业发展相匹配的产业基础和创新体系，在科技创新前沿领域、绿色经济转型、应对气候变化国际合作、数字经济发展等领域，跨国公司希望与中国企业共同成长，分享中国经济转型升级的红利。”商务部研究院现代供应链研究所所长林梦分析道。
"This shows that China's industrial transformation and upgrading has achieved remarkable results, and has formed an industrial foundation and innovation system that matches the development of global high-tech industries. In the fields of scientific and technological innovation frontier, green economic transformation, international cooperation in combating climate change, and digital economic development, multinational companies hope to grow together with Chinese enterprises and share the dividends of China's economic transformation and upgrading." Lin Meng, director of the Modern Supply Chain Research Institute of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, said.
区域布局持续优化。2022年，我国中部、西部地区实际使用外资分别增长21.9%和14.1%，高于全国平均水平15.6个百分点和7.8个百分点。其中，山西、河南、广西、陕西吸收外资分别增长229.6%、119.8%、49.1%、33.6%。
The regional layout continues to be optimized. In 2022, the actual use of foreign capital in the central and western regions of China increased by 21.9% and 14.1% respectively, 15.6 percentage points and 7.8 percentage points higher than the national average. Among them, the absorption of foreign capital by Shanxi, Henan, Guangxi and Shaanxi increased by 229.6%, 119.8%, 49.1% and 33.6% respectively.
外资主要来源地投资意愿稳定。2022年，投资增幅较大的来源地有韩国、德国、英国，分别增长64.2%、52.9%、40.7%。欧盟、“一带一路”沿线国家、东盟对华投资分别增长92.2%、17.2%、8.2%。
The main source of foreign capital has stable investment intention. In 2022, South Korea, Germany and the United Kingdom had the largest increase in investment, with growth of 64.2%, 52.9% and 40.7% respectively. Investment in China by the EU, countries along the the Belt and Road and ASEAN increased by 92.2%, 17.2% and 8.2% respectively.
“《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》（RCEP）的生效为中日韩等RCEP成员国间进一步深化经贸合作提供了广阔空间。”林梦认为，RCEP成员国间在货物、服务、投资等领域高水平的便利化自由化政策措施，显著提升了东亚区域经济一体化水平，释放了区域内贸易投资增长潜能。中国还将进一步加快推动与更多国家和地区商签高水平自贸协定，这无疑有利于促进全球贸易投资增长。
"The entry into force of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) provides broad space for further deepening economic and trade cooperation between China, Japan and South Korea and other RCEP member countries." Lin Meng believes that the high-level facilitation and liberalization policies and measures in the fields of goods, services, investment and other fields among the RCEP member countries have significantly improved the level of regional economic integration in East Asia and released the growth potential of intraregional trade and investment. China will also further accelerate the signing of high-level free trade agreements with more countries and regions, which will undoubtedly help promote the growth of global trade and investment.

On the production line, each equipment works in order. Located in the West Airport Development Zone, Shuangliu District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, Gardner Airlines Chengdu Global Flagship Factory will continuously produce aircraft parts and components to be delivered to well-known aircraft manufacturers at home and abroad such as Airbus.

Since 2022, enterprises have purchased a new batch of precision processing equipment to improve production capacity, and will continue to increase production capacity in 2023.
在许多外资企业眼里，中国有超大规模市场的需求优势，有产业体系配套完善的供给优势，既是重要的生产基地，也是不可错过的目标销售市场。
In the eyes of many foreign-funded enterprises, China has the demand advantage of a large-scale market and the supply advantage of a complete industrial system. It is not only an important production base, but also a target sales market that cannot be missed.

DFS集团加速进入中国市场的背后，是中新（重庆）战略性互联互通示范项目的有序推进。“我们公司本身就是中新合作的成果，由重庆机场集团和新加坡樟宜机场（中国）有限公司共同组建，通过引入新加坡樟宜机场的先进经营理念，我们摸索出了适合自己发展的商业模式，正加快推动重庆机场商圈提档升级。”该负责人表示。
Behind the acceleration of DFS Group's entry into the Chinese market is the orderly promotion of the China-Singapore (Chongqing) strategic connectivity demonstration project. "Our company itself is the result of Sino-Singapore cooperation, which was jointly established by Chongqing Airport Group and Singapore Changi Airport (China) Co., Ltd. Through introducing the advanced business concept of Singapore Changi Airport, we have found a business model suitable for our own development, and are accelerating the upgrading of the business circle of Chongqing Airport," said the person in charge.

"To do a good job in utilizing foreign capital, we should firmly grasp the ox nose of improving the business environment." Long Guoqiang, deputy director of the Development Research Center of the State Council, said that the global layout of international investors, to a certain extent, is to vote on the business environment of various countries. We should accelerate the construction of a unified domestic market, break down local protectionism and industrial barriers, implement the national treatment of foreign-funded enterprises, ensure that foreign-funded enterprises participate equally in government procurement, bidding and standard formulation according to law, and strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights and the legitimate rights and interests of foreign investment.

On the new journey, we will continue to promote high-level opening to the outside world and steadily expand the institutional opening of rules, regulations, management and standards. Creating a market-oriented, law-based and internationalized first-class business environment will enable more investors to share China's development dividend and enable foreign capital to play a more active role in promoting China's economic development.
