China Daily reports that the Chinese government should continue its efforts to create a favourable investment environment for foreign businesses, as they could facilitate the advancement and reformation of the nation's economy, according to a report published yesterday (29/11/11).

The China Foreign Investment Development Report 2011, released by the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE) in Beijing, said foreign direct investment (FDI) has played a positive role in boosting the economy, creating jobs and promoting trade in the three decades since the nation launched its reform and opening-up policy.
