Freeman Briefing: Issue in Focus: China's "Going Out" Investment Policy - May 27, 2008

May 27, 2008

The Freeman Chair continues to monitor China’s economic development and the behind-the-scenes political maneuverings that influence economic policy decision making through its Freeman Briefing.  Drawing largely from Chinese-language sources, these publications offer analysis of major economic, financial and industry-related developments in China of interest to the international business community.

From the briefing:

For much of the last two decades, China has been a top destination for foreign direct
investment (FDI.) China’s emergence as a global economic player through
“opening up” to the participation of outside investors is well-chronicled. Few
Chinese companies, however, have translated domestic success into international
market share. In a country deeply sensitive to its semi-colonial past, this has not
gone unnoticed.
