For many foreign companies with a long history of operating in China, the "two sessions" of 2026 have become a kind of "opportunity list" for development in the Chinese market over the next five years or more.
As executives from several international companies told a China News Service correspondent, amid global economic uncertainty, the resilience of the Chinese economy and the advantages of its super-large market remain extremely attractive. According to a previously published report by KPMG, multinational corporations' confidence in China's economic growth prospects is higher than their expectations for the global economy.
According to statistics, as of the end of last year, the volume of actual foreign investment in China exceeded 700 billion yuan for the 16th consecutive year (unless otherwise stated, amounts are in yuan). This allows the country to confidently maintain its leading position globally. Meanwhile, revenue and total profits of foreign-invested enterprises operating in China continue to grow overall.
Chen Ge, President of Unilever Greater China, shared her observations: “The comprehensive advantages of the Chinese market – high levels of innovation and a well-developed supply chain system – have created a solid foundation for high-quality development in the consumer sector, guiding the industry towards a more sustainable and high-quality future.”
In 2025, total retail sales of consumer goods in China will exceed 50 trillion yuan for the first time. "As one of the most important and dynamic consumer markets in the world, China is a key pillar of our global strategy," said Li Li'an, President of Coach China.
To further expand investment cooperation, the government's work report outlined a number of measures. These included deepening reforms to the system for promoting and protecting foreign investment, ensuring national treatment for foreign-invested enterprises, implementing a new version of the catalog of industries encouraged for foreign investment, promoting the reinvestment of foreign capital within the country, and expanding localized production.
A range of favorable policy measures is encouraging many foreign companies to more actively develop their operations in the Chinese market. Xiao Jiale, Managing Director of adidas Greater China, announced his intention to continue innovating in the sports sector, providing Chinese consumers and athletes with a better experience, helping to unlock consumer potential, and developing the sports industry.
Faurecia Group, a global automotive technology provider, views China as its "largest single market." Ma Chuan, a member of the Faurecia Global Executive Committee and President of Faurecia China, noted that the company intends to leverage technological innovation as a key driver of development and deepen localization in China, strengthening industrial coordination and actively integrating into the new energy industry chain.
Meng Pu, Chairman of Qualcomm China, emphasized that the company will continue to collaborate with partners in China to jointly explore the development directions of 6G technologies for the AI era and promote the transition of AI capabilities from "model parameters" to "practical implementation in real-world scenarios."
“We look forward to continuing to invest in China, harnessing its capabilities, and working with our partners to bring more innovative solutions to market, following the vision outlined in the program.
