Recommendation

China’s imminent emergence as the world’s dominant investor raises substantial concerns. For instance, the country diverges from global norms on matters of governance by the rule of law, enforcement of international environmental and human safety measures, and foreign-investment reciprocity. This articulate and insightful analysis by David Dollar of the Brookings Institute provides a framework for viewing the future evolution and challenges of China’s global investment strategies. getAbstract recommends Dollar’s report to policy makers, investors and others with an interest in what China’s creditor ascendance portends.

Take-Aways

  • China is on course to become the world’s largest investor by 2020.
  • Current Chinese investment practices differ from those of other countries in matters of governance, environmental and social standards, and reciprocity of foreign investment.
  • China might reshape some global norms. For example, environmental and social safeguard standards might change to reflect the preferences of the beneficiary nations rather than the rules of global institutions and advanced countries.
