"Our direct investment from places like China, India, Brazil, the people that really have a hot hand today, are minuscule, almost non-existent, and there's no reason why those countries shouldn't be investing more broadly in the US than they are today," said Jeffrey Immelt, chairman and CEO of the General Electric Company.
"I totally believe that if we have more foreign direct investment from India and China and those places in the United States, we wouldn't have as many issues as we have," he added.
Immelt and others expressed their views on the issue at Friday's discussion at President's Jobs and Competitiveness Council with the secretary of state Hillary Clinton and the Acting Secretary of Commerce Rebecca Blank.
