Abstract

Since the instigation of the “open-door” policies (gaige kaifang,) in 1978, China has experienced three decades of considerable economic and institutional reform. These reforms have been directed towards changing the domestic industrial structure and increasing the degree of integration of China’s economy and its businesses into the global economy. At the same time, China has evolved from a position of marginal relevance in terms of its outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) levels to becoming an important source country, especially among developing countries. To illustrate, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce reports that domestic firms invested US $21 billion abroad in 2006, raising China’s OFDI stock to US $ 90 billion (MOFCOM, 2007).
