Most foreign manufacturing businesses in China still see China as a major investment destination with investment confidence continuously rising, it said.
Against the backdrop of contraction in transnational investment in manufacturing in recent years, China has constantly attracted multinationals' investments in the manufacturing sector due to its huge market and complete supply chain, said the report.
