China goes Europe: Framework Conditions for Chinese Investments in Europe

摘要

The flow of foreign investments into the PRC remains strong. In 2007,37,888 Foreign Invested Enterprises were established and brought 82.658 billion US dollars into the country. However, investments going into the opposite direction, i.e. from the PRC to Europe, did not show a clear trend. Every now and again major Chinese projects are discussed. Most recently it became public that the telecommunications provider Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. intends to invest several millions in an "Innovation Lab" in Europe, possibly in Darmstadt. Generally speaking, total investments from the PRC to the EU amount to only a fraction of the investments going in the opposite direction.
