我国的对外开放政策,象块巨大的磁石,正在吸引越来越多的海外投资者。近几个月来,来访者有增无已。仅上海投资信托公司近两个月就接待外商、港商二千多人次。国内报刊把这股浪潮称作“投资意向热”。然而,“意向”本身毕竟不是投资。来访者虽众,真投起资来却谨慎得多。我国实行对外开放政策五年来,已签定合同开办起来的合资独资企业不过二百四十余家,直接投资总额共二十六亿美元, China’s open-door policy, like the huge magnet, is attracting more and more overseas investors. In recent months, visitors have increased. Only Shanghai Investment Trust Company has received more than 2,000 foreign and Hong Kong businessmen in the past two months. Domestic newspapers and magazines call this wave of “investment intentions.” However, “intention” itself is not investment after all. Although the visitors are all, it is much more cautious to actually invest capital. In the five years since our country adopted the policy of opening up to the outside world, there have been more than 240 joint venture-owned enterprises that have been contracted. The total amount of direct investment is US$2.6 billion.
