That compared with $700 million in 2005, according to Zarit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chinese investment in the US in the first half jumped 290 percent from a year earlier<\/strong>, compared with 29-percent growth in China&#8217;s overall outbound direct investment, according to the ministry.<\/p>\n<p>China and the US agreed in July that they would soon start substantive negotiations on a bilateral investment treaty, which will reduce investment barriers and facilitate market access in the two economies.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the promising prospects, Tian noted that Chinese investors still face some difficulties in the US, the biggest being such cultural differences as language and region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>He also urged Chinese enterprises in the US to contribute more to local communities<\/strong> as fast-growing Chinese investment has aroused concerns.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source www.chinadaily.com<\/em><br
