BEIJING - China's outbound overseas direct investment (ODI) to non-financial sectors totaled $216.6 billion in the 2006-2010 period, exceeding the government's target 3.6 times, the Minister of Commerce (MOC) Chen Deming said Friday.
The annual growth rate was 38.8 percent during the period, taking China to fifth place in global ranking from 18th place at the end of China's 10th Five-Year Plan (2001-2005) period, Chen said while addressing a national business work conference.
Enterprises in the eastern provinces of Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong were more aware of gaining technology, branding and marketing networks through merger and acquisition in the 2006-2010 period, Chen said.
