accommodate fluctuating sample sizes, for the past few years we have
reported reinvestment figures normalized to 100 companies as a primary year-
on-year comparisons. The figure was calculated as the products of the mean of each
category range and the percentage of total respondents indicating that category,
except in the case of the largest (US$250 million or more) category, for which the
minimum value is used.
Noticeably we found that in 2018 reinvestment in China would be expected to
rise by nearly 12% with an estimated reinvestment of US$14 billion among all
surveyed enterprises. This showed that the surveyed enterprises are optimistic about
the prospect of reinvesting in China in 2018.
