FDI enters new structural era

Nation's investment environment going through fundamental change

China's foreign direct investment entered an era of restructuring and optimization in 2013, experts said on Friday.

"China's FDI is seeing a trend of restructuring this year with growth slowing to a moderate pace," said Yang Liqiang, a researcher at the Institute of International Economy of the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing. "The share of FDI inflow into the manufacturing and real estate sectors declined, while that into the finance and R&D sectors went up."
