我国从一九七九年开始实行对外开放政策以来,在吸收外商直接投资方面已取得了可喜的进展。到今年六月底,已同外商签订了近三千项合同、协议,吸收外资总金额达八十亿美元。兴办中外合资企业,是吸收外商直接投资的一种重要而有效的方式。到今年六月底止,政府已批准兴办的中外合资企业已达三百六十多家,外商直接投资额约为五亿美元。 Since China began to implement the policy of opening up to the outside world in 1979, gratifying progress has been made in absorbing foreign direct investment. By the end of June this year, nearly 3,000 contracts and agreements with foreign companies have been signed, and the total amount of foreign capital absorbed has reached eight billion US dollars. The establishment of Sino-foreign joint ventures is an important and effective way to attract foreign direct investment. By the end of June this year, the government has approved the establishment of more than 306 Sino-foreign joint ventures, and foreign direct investment is about 500 million U.S. dollars.
