您好，罗伯茨先生。;

isamongthebestchoicesoftheirinvestmentdestinations.;
Todayitisnotamatterofwhethertogoeast,butwhenandhow.;
您说得对。海外人士在上海及周边地区的投资近年来翻了两番。;
出现这一高涨不止的投资热有多种缘由。;
除了中国是世界上经济增长最快的国家之一这个原因外，;
中国政府和地方政府很重视对外全面开放，;
不仅开放沿海城市，也开放内地，尽可能吸引外资。;
另外，许多海外团体与个人投资者认为在中国直接投资比同中国公司做生意更有利可图。;
好的，基本情况是这样的，外国直接在华投资可以在最大程度上发挥有关双方的优势。;
中国幅员辽阔，自然资源丰富,廉价劳动力充裕，税收低，消费市场不断增长，;
基础设施不断改善，当然罗，我们还有稳定的社会政治环境以及诱人的投资政策。;
所有这些优势难以在其他国家找到。;
而来自发达国家和地区的外国投资者则有充足的资金，先进的技术和管理知识。;
同做进出口贸易生意相比，在华直接投资的经济回报则更高。;
Doyouhaveanyideaofthebestplaceinwhichtoinvest;
就我个人来说，我希望你们在上海的浦东地区投资。;
这倒不是因为浦东是我的家乡，而是因为浦东的确是投资者的理想场所。;
如果您或您的朋友有兴趣我可以向你们提供许多研究资料。;
我也听说过许多关于在中国内地和其他沿海城市进行投资而获得成功的例子。;
真的很难说哪一个地方为最佳。也许应该说在某一时期的某一地点做投资相对比较为好。;
Mynextquestionconcernstheformsofinvestment;
thatareallowedinChinacurrently.;
投资方式很多，您可以同中方合资办企业，也可以独资办公司。;
Whatarethedifferences;
投资兴办合资企业时，通常外方提供资金，机械先进技术和管理方法，而中方则提供土地，;
劳工以及部分用于基础设施建设的资金。;
至于独资企业嘛，外商提供所有资金，赚取所有利润，同时承担所有风险。;
您可以选择自己喜欢的方式经营独资公司，当然不可超越中国法律。;
