China best place to invest, say US execs

Los Angeles - China is the best place to invest, according to a survey published Monday of US corporate executives.

In the survey by New York-based marketing firm Development Counsellors International, 30% of executives said China had the strongest foreign investment opportunities. Britain ranked second with 22%, and Germany came in third with 20%.

India was fourth and Brazil fifth.

By region, the executives preferred the Asia-Pacific, followed by Western Europe and Latin America, according to the survey.

The online survey asked 356 executives and location advisers what countries and regions they viewed as the top locations for international investment opportunities.

Executives involved in manufacturing selected the Asia-Pacific region for the greatest promise of growth, while decision-makers in the service sector saw Western Europe as the most promising region.
