Abstract

The Chinese economy is in the midst of a process of transition to a “New Normal”, with slower growth of real GDP, international trade and investment. China has a very high domestic saving rate and hence significant excess savings. Its outbound direct investment has surpassed its inbound foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2014. Reasons for Chinese outbound direct investment include: seeking lower costs; increasing market share; acquisition of natural resources, raw materials and technology; upgrading product quality; securing trade and diversification. Alternative models of Chinese FDI and its financing and the important issue of China-U.S. and China-EU bilateral investment treaties are also considered.
