Abstract: Abstract Until recently, China has been widely known as a destination for foreign direct investment (FDI). However, since 2002, Chinese outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) has increased substantially — by fourfold in the period from 2005 to 2009, and China was ranked as the sixth largest global outbound investor in 2009 (UNCTAD, 2010). It is also estimated that by the end of 2009 there were around 13,000 businesses with Chinese capital in 177 countries (MOFCOM, 2010). Table 12.1 shows the evolution of Chinese OFDI flows and stocks.
