wait, india in 2017 was less than Brazil!

There are some different methodologies to calculate FDI, but no way a country ranked behind Brazil can all of a sudden be No.1

The last year or so the year before that Indians attracted the world's largest FDI?

In your dream.



@TaiShang @Götterdämmerung @Chinese-Dragon @Gibbs See how indian newspaper produces delusion.

Indian news papers are very similar to those vedic scholars. They are good at brainwashing those 82ers. Doesn't work for higher IQs. They have been doing this for centuries and thus the result is most Indians are delusional. Like their software have been getting regular updates.

Actually, China has been traditionally a top destination for FDI inflow. Usually, China's FDI inflow is larger than outflow. 2018 is not the first time China leads in FDI.

For example, China was the top recipient in 2003. I know it was also a top recipient in 2015. And that's by UNCTAD. I do not know about the Vedic institution that calculates Indian FDI.

What makes this year's FDI significant is that China's share grows while global FDI drops. Bad news for developing poor countries like India.

Well done India. You've out done China again.

Microsoft locates first VR/MR incubator in China's Jiangxi

2018-10-21

US tech giant Microsoft on Saturday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to locate its incubator project centering on virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) in Nanchang, east China's Jiangxi Province.

The MoU was signed between Microsoft China and the government of the city's Honggutan New District on the sidelines of the ongoing 2018 World Conference on VR Industry in Nanchang.

The VR/MR incubator, the first of its kind of the company, aims to usher in and nurture innovative enterprises in the fields of VR/MR, according to the district government.

Teng Wen, vice president of Microsoft's greater China region, invited global VR/MR firms to join the project. He said VR/MR companies, projects, expertise and investments are congregating in China and in Jiangxi, which has launched an industrial base for VR technologies, the country's first of its kind.

So far, Jiangxi has partnered with over 150 enterprises worldwide to invest 63.15 billion yuan (9.1 billion US dollars) in VR industry and its derivative businesses including both hardware and software, and applications, according to the provincial industry and information technology commission.

VR uses helmets and glasses to simulate a virtual 3D environment that resembles reality, while MR presents a world in which real and virtual objects co-exist.

VR, augmented reality (AR) and MR can be widely applied in education and training, medicine, gaming, tourism and online shopping.

China's VR market expanded 164 percent year on year to reach 16 billion yuan in 2017, data showed. The market is likely to exceed 90 billion yuan by 2020, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Not FDI. Your Indian propaganda piece is about "Greenfield" FDI. That's a specific form of FDI. For many countries a little fraction of total FDI. Look it up. I'm not into lowly copying of textbook definitions.

Not "or so". Your Indian propaganda piece is from early 2017, not about 2017. It even says the report is about 2016.

And according to the latest estimate by that fDi group India has dropped sharply in 2017 even in this aspect.

After two back-to-back years as the world’s leading recipient of greenfield FDI, India experienced a sharp reversal of fortune in 2017. From $62.3bn in 2016, greenfield investments fell by 60% to $25.1bn in 2017, according to greenfield investment monitor fDi Markets. India’s experience in some way reflects the weakening of greenfield FDI globally in 2017, but the much sharper decline suggests a significantly diminished preference among foreign investors for setting up operations in the country.

Yes, FDI to India has dropped considerably, which should not have happened now that they have labor cost advantage.

To the contrary, rising labor cost country China has received the largest amount of FDI while global FDI in general is declining.
