China to see outbound, inbound balance

China is expecting to see foreign investment in the country exceed $100 billion in 2014, and its outbound investment is also set to top $100 billion, China Central Television reported on Sunday, citing data from the Ministry of Commerce.

This is the first time that China will see a balance in its foreign inbound and outbound investment, the report said.

This will mark the 23rd consecutive year that China has attracted the most foreign direct investment among all developing countries, the report said.

The ministry said it will further improve China's investment environment and help China's homegrown companies to further expand overseas in 2015.
