BEIJING: Difficulty in accessing financing remains the biggest problem for Chinese companies investing overseas, China's trade promotion body said Tuesday.
In a report on Chinese enterprises' external investment released Tuesday, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) said overseas consumers' limited knowledge of Chinese brands and concerns about the quality of China-made products are also challenges for Chinese companies' outbound investment.

Manufacturing was the most popular industry for Chinese overseas investment, the report said.
Geographically, the United States was the most popular destination for Chinese outbound investment. Africa is also emerging as a popular destination, the CCPIT report said.
China's outbound direct investment to the non-financial sector rose 6.5 percent from a year earlier to $43.3 billion in 2009.
