On March 24, the Boao Asia Forum 2026 Annual Conference officially opened in Hainan, bringing together over 2,000 global political, business, and academic elites. Once again, the world’s attention is focused on this vibrant eastern land.

The two flagship reports released on the first day of the conference send a very clear signal. In today’s world, where global economic uncertainty and risks are increasing, Asia remains the core hub for global investment. The opportunities in China are visible, tangible, and more reliable. Investing in China is investing in stability and embracing a certain future.

Currently, the global economy is struggling with sluggish recovery, geopolitical conflicts are frequent, unilateralism and protectionism are surging, and many economies are in turmoil and confusion. Global capital is desperately seeking safe harbors and reliable growth sources.

Meanwhile, Asia, with its strong economic resilience, has stabilized its footing amid headwinds. The region’s dependence on foreign direct investment has risen to 51.03%, with more than half of the funds choosing to root and deepen their presence in Asia. The benefits of regional economic integration continue to be unleashed.

Among them, China and ASEAN have become the most attractive economies for foreign investment in Asia. With steady development and vast market potential, they are the core choices for global capital to hedge risks and seek growth, injecting rare stability into the turbulent global economy.

China’s opportunities primarily stem from its enormous market offering long-term development prospects. With a population of over 1.4 billion, the largest middle-income group in the world, China creates a continuous and unlimited demand market.

From daily consumer goods like clothing, food, housing, and transportation to high-end equipment manufacturing and precision technology R&D; from upgrading traditional service industries to the booming digital economy and green industries, China’s market breadth and depth far surpass those of typical economies.

For global companies, investing in China is not just a one-time deal but a commitment to a continuously growing, long-term promising super-large market, sharing in the high-quality development dividends of China’s economy. As Apple CEO Tim Cook recently said, “We are very pleased to return to China. We will continue to invest in the Chinese market.”

This opportunity is also a result of China’s unwavering commitment to high-level opening-up. In the face of complex and changing external environments, China has consistently expanded its openness, focusing on institutional openness, continuously optimizing the business environment, and fully implementing national treatment for foreign-invested enterprises, encouraging foreign investment.

From increasing transparency in policy-making to stabilizing various measures and making government services more efficient and convenient, China has taken tangible actions to reassure global investors.

As an important window for China to align with international rules, the impressive achievements of Hainan Free Trade Port demonstrate the remarkable results of China’s institutional opening-up.

Since its full island closure operation for 100 days, foreign-invested enterprises have increased by 33.5%, foreign trade imports and exports by 32.9%, and 86 countries’ nationals can enter Hainan visa-free, with visa-free arrivals increasing by 53.6%. Hainan is becoming China’s new frontier for opening-up, a new hot spot for regional mutually beneficial cooperation, and a new engine for promoting economic globalization.

Global companies are actively trusting China’s opportunities. The latest data from the Ministry of Commerce shows that in the first two months of this year, the number of newly established foreign-invested enterprises in China continued to grow steadily, and actual foreign investment in high-tech industries increased rapidly. These figures directly confirm China’s strong market appeal and demonstrate that global capital remains optimistic about and trusts China.
