"We will continue to encourage bilateral investment and collaboration in the electrical machinery sector. China will expand imports of machinery and electrical products from Russia," Zhong said in the article.

Bilateral foreign direct investment amounted to 3.8 billion U.S. dollars as of the end of 2011, and Russia has become China's ninth-largest investment destination, Zhong said.
