Global Arena was at the China International Fair on Investment and Trade (CIFIT 2010) in Xiamen, China. This fair is organised by the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM).

As revealed in UNCTAD’s World Investment Report 2010, China and Hong Kong combined are the economy receiving the largest FDI inflow, the same report puts China at the third position for FDI outflow, only behind USA and France, with Chinese FDI outflow totalling 100 billion dollars.
To both China’s inflow and outflow of capital, the China Investment Promotion Agency (CIPA) is playing a pivotal role. Global-arena.com is starting a cooperation with CIPA to develop a Chinese version of our Online Business Location platform, optimised for use from within China, so exclusively aiming at Chinese companies looking for business locations outside China.

To make global-arena.cn most effective, it needs to be hosted in China, optimised for the Baidu search engine (China’s equivelent for Google) and be in the Chinese language. In the very near future we will start offering our Premium clients with a Complete profile the facility to be active on the Chinese FDI Marketplace, once this is established, we will also offer Start and Plus clients the opportunity to effectively promote their location in China for a modest fee.
I welcome your comments, recommendations and questions about attracting investments to your location from Chinese companies
