BEIJING (AP) - Foreign investment in China rose 9.9 percent in the first five months of this year to $25.3 billion from the same period a year ago, a state news agency reported Wednesday.
Total investment rose despite a 3.75 percent drop in the number of new foreign-Chinese joint ventures approved by the government, the Xinhua News Agency said, citing Commerce Ministry spokesman Yao Shenhong.
China has long been one of the world's top destinations for foreign investment.
