SHENZHEN, CHINA -SEPTEMBER 24: Workers make pods for e-cigarettes on the production line at Kanger Tech, one of China's leading manufacturers of vaping products, on September 24, 2019 in Shenzhen, China. Global production for e-cigarette and vaping products is centered in a five-square-mile district of Shenzhen, China, which is the focal point for roughly 90% of the industrys supply chain. Hundreds of companies in China ranging from large corporations to smaller workshops -- are vying for a part of the international market for e-cigarette and vaping products industry worth an estimated $15 billion USD. With investigations by U.S. health officials into an outbreak of vaping-related illnesses across more than 30 states, there are new concerns about product safety, health effects, and addiction among young people. Chinas government is drafting new standards for manufacturing, safety, and quality control. The regulations are likely months away from taking full effect, though most established e-cigarette manufacturers in China already employ strict quality controls that comply with U.S. and European standards. Still, a growing number of U.S. states, including New York and New Jersey, are moving to ban certain vaping products and electronic smoking devices. Many of the firms are seeking to make inroads into the potentially lucrative Chinese market, where reports say more than 60 percent of adult males smoke. (Photo by Kevin Frayer/Getty Images)
歐洲央行日前發表經濟簡報，調查發現超過40%的跨國公司擔心在華風險，考慮日後遷往「政治友好地方」以規避風險；有報道指出，外國企業連續六個季度從中國撤走利潤，金額高達1,600億美元；無獨有偶，國家外匯管理局的最新資料顯示，中國的直接投資負債出現了118億美元的逆差，為歷史上首次。
歐洲央行向65家的大型跨國公司進行調查，有超過一半的公司認為在華營商具不穩定風險，有42%公司考慮將生產場所前往其他較低政治風險的地方。
有外媒指出，隨着地緣政治風險越趨緊張，加上中國經濟復甦疲弱，不少外國公司開始將在華利潤撤出中國。截至九月底，外國企業連續六個季度從中國撤走合共1600億美元，反映中美緊張的關係對於外資構成無形的壓力。
參考國家外匯管理局在11月3日發佈的數據，今年第三季度中國的直接投資負債首次出現逆差，達118億美元，自1998年有數據以來的首次，反映中國對於外資的吸引力正在減少。
