Foreign Companies Increasingly Dissatisfied with Business Environment in China

Foreign companies are increasingly pulling investments and operations out of China due to government rules for foreign businesses, a slowing economy, rising operating costs, government protections for Chinese companies, and a lack of action on promised reforms. About 66 percent of the 570 companies that took part in the European Chamber’s research said they felt doing business in China had become more difficult. One in 10 companies said they had pulled investments out of China, and another one in five said they were delaying or considering moving their investments.
