Despite the economic slowdown and weak situation at the beginning of the fiscal year, China goes on setting the world’s records. The Chinese foreign direct investments touched the level of $9.61 billion. According to the report released by The Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, last month, the indicator increased by 10.5% on a yearly basis. In general, for the first quarter of 2015, direct foreign investments climbed by 11.1% to $44.49 billion. At the same time, from January to April, China’s outbound investments rose by 36.1% compared to the same period in 2014 and amounted to $34.97 billion. According to experts, China keeps its position among the world’s top recipients of foreign investments; however, it is getting more and more difficult. China is becoming less attractive amid the rise of salaries, cost of land and real estate along with the weak economic growth. At the same time, China is turning into the largest investor from the largest producer. The country’s investment activities have recently expanded into the technology, media and telecommunication (TMT), real estate, finance, agribusiness, and healthcare sectors. In this case, Russia’s economy is very attractive for China.
