 ANALYSIS OF CHINA’S FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN EUROPE UNDER THE 17+1 PLATFORMAdam Cibula ()
Medzinarodne vztahy (Journal of International Relations), 2021, vol. 19, issue 2, 157-173 Abstract: Paper deals with the analysis of Chinese investments in the region of Central and Eastern Europe within the 17 + 1 platform. The aim of the article is to characterize the development of the mutual relations between China and Europe and to point out the importance and possible challenges that the 17 + 1 platform presents for the the participating countries and EU itself. The paper is based on information from scientific articles, publications and draws statistical data from databases of renowned institutions such as the World Bank, UNCTAD and MOFCOM. In the first part, we deal with the emergence of the initiative, then known as 16 + 1, its importance and potential, both for China and for the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. In the second part, we discuss the motives behind the creation of the 16 + 1 platform. We further examine the trends of Chinese FDI in Europe, especially in terms of their structure and volume. At the end of the paper we focus on the FDI control mechanism in the EU in connection with the EU screening policy and the impact that this policy has on China.
