CHINA PRESS: Foreign investors have had greater access to China's market in the

country's northeastern rust belt as that region struggles to revitalize its

economy, the South China Morning Post reported Sunday, citing Agence

France-Presse. Foreign companies feel more welcome in Liaoning, the only

province in China officially in recession in 2016, posting a 2.5% drop of GDP

growth. The province admitted that it had faked GDP growth data from 2011 to

2014, especially in Shenyang, the capital city. The local government has eased

company registration, given three-year visas to family members of staffers in

foreign firms and provided rental discounts for factory and office space, the

report said. The report cited the EU Chamber of Commerce saying businesses in

renewable energy, tourism, agriculture or advanced technology were well

positioned to succeed in Shenyang.
