The world's most populous country has now moved to the second most favoured destination after the US, pushing the UK further down the list.

Asia's recovery And China's newfound popularity is part of a wider trend, with both Singapore and Taiwan moving significantly higher up the index.

Investment hotspots 1. US 2. China 3. Brazil 4. UK 5. Mexico Brazil and Mexico were amongst the other most favoured countries in the developing world.

Her appointment comes as Chinese regulators increase efforts to crack down on stock price manipulation and market abuse.
