CHINA: CORRECT: It is "too early to say" that China has entered the stage where

capital outflows will always exceed capital inflows, Commerce Ministry spokesman

Gao Feng said at a press briefing on Thursday. Although China has placed the

same level of importance on both goods exports and capital exports, it still

lags behind traditional "net capital outflow countries" in terms of the amount

of its overseas direct investments, Gao said. "Chinese companies going abroad is

still at an early stage," he said. "The Chinese government will continue to

support and guide real and legal outbound investments of qualified companies in

order to enhance the quality and efficiency of China's outbound investments."
