China will remain a prime long-term destination for global investors, driven by its vast consumer market, deeper opening-up and rapid advances in digital and green technologies, which are reshaping industries and generating fresh growth opportunities, government officials and business executives said on Thursday.

Speaking at a business conference ahead of the 32nd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Ministers Responsible for Trade Meeting, which will be held in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, on Friday and Saturday, Li Chenggang, China international trade representative with the Ministry of Commerce, said the nation will continue easing market access beyond the negative list for foreign investors.
