“如果不在中国做生意，那叫啥全球公司！”

To put it simply, you cannot be a global company without doing business in China. 

With close to 20 percent of the global population, the size and pace of the development of the market in China cannot be ignored. Over the past four decades of reform and opening-up, while having made remarkable economic achievements, China has provided Rio Tinto and other foreign companies with abundant growth opportunities.

米其林中国区总裁兼首席执行官叶菲也认为，中国持续高水平的对外开放，实现了多方共赢的局面。对于外企来说，享有更多发展机会。对于中国来说，经济和社会发展带来了更多创新和绿色发展机遇。而对于全世界来说，中国提供了尖端技术和理念。

China's continuous high-level opening-up has brought about a multi-win situation. For foreign enterprises, there are more opportunities. For China, more opportunities for innovation and greener development arise from economy and society. For the entire world, China offers the sharing of cutting-edge technologies and ideas.

Despite short-term headwinds or challenges, the fundamentals of a resilient, high-potential and prosperous economy in China remain intact. The business environment for foreign enterprises has steadily improved in China over the last ten years. We are encouraged that China's approach to foreign investment remains positive.
