New statistics show foreign direct investment into China is up 11-percent year-on-year so far this year.

The Ministry of Commerce says 45-billion US dollars has rolled into the country through the first 4-months of this year.

Chinese authorities say around two-thirds of the foreign investment is in the service sector.

Tang Wenhong with the Commerce Ministry says European investments are on the rise.

"Overall, the investments in China from major countries and regions remained stable. In particular, the investments from Hong Kong, Germany, the United Kingdom and France grew visibly. For example, the investments from the 28 members of the European Union rose 22.2 percent year on year."

But at the same time, foreign trade volumes are down over 7.5-percent so far this year.

While exports are up over 1.5-percent, imports are down more than 17 percent.
