Foreign Investment

Chapter Chapter 4 in The Political Economy of China’s Systemic Transformation, 2011, pp 55-80 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The People’s Republic of China (PRC) was founded in 1949. The West immediately imposed an embargo in an effort to isolate it from the outside world. Since China had no experience with establishing a communist state, it faithfully modeled its efforts after that of the former USSR. Its foreign economic relations revolved nearly exclusively around the USSR and other former members of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON) nations.1 Since none of these countries permitted private economic initiatives, there was no free flow of investment resources into China. The main source of foreign investment came by way of intergovernmental treaties.
