The World Trade Center Association is optimistic about the Chinese investment environment over the next few years, said Eric Dahl, its chief executive officer.

He made the speech during the ongoing China International Fair for Investment and Trade in Xiamen in East China's Fujian province.

"There is going to be an explosion of demand in China in the coming years. What we see from foreign investors is their growing interest in getting involved in China's domestic market," said Dahl.
