Amazon.com's popular e-book Kindle has had a great reception around the world. Now Chinese companies are striving to replicate that success in local market.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) has been in decline for eight months, but the size of the fall in May was smaller than the one in April, probably signaling an easing off.
