Is the United States Ready for Foreign Direct Investment from Emerging Markets? The Case of China

Karl P. Sauvant

Chapter Chapter 18 in Foreign Direct Investments from Emerging Markets, 2010, pp 359-380 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Among emerging market multinational enterprises (MNEs), none have received more attention than those headquartered in China. Within the span of fewer than ten years (2000–2007), they invested an estimated US$68 billion abroad, for a total stock of US$96 billion at the end of 2007 (figures 18.1 and 18.2), catapulting China into the ranks of the leading outward investors among emerging markets. This investment takes place in all sectors (and especially services) (table 18.1) and regions of the world (table 18.2), “through more than 5,000 Chinese investment entities [having] established nearly 10,000 overseas enterprises through direct investment across 172 countries and/or economies” (OECD 2008, 71).
