Investment In China

This paper discusses foreign direct investment from Southeast Asia to China. With the exception of some government-linked companies, most investments from Southeast Asia have been dominated by the region's overseas Chinese businesses. In addition to cheap labour costs, large domestic market and growing economy, China has provided business opportunities to investors from Southeast Asia thanks to their geographic proximity and ethnic connections, at least during the initial investment period. However, the network effects seem to decline soon after. As the Chinese economy becomes more globalised and more competitive, the success of foreign investment in China will increasingly depend on business competency rather than ethnic relations.

East West

Reshaping the relationships between Western Europe and the former communist bloc is one of the most intriguing challenges for the coming years. Will Central and Eastern Europe become passive players in the European and world economy, or will companies located there become integrated as fully fledged partners? Foreign direct investment (FDI) is heavily concentrated in a few countries in Central and Eastern Europe. It is argued that the type of FDI is more important than the amount of FDI. There is a need for a critical assessment of the strategies of the investors and the impacts on local entrepreneurship. In this vein, the authors describe various interesting future research paths and make policy recommendations.

The Impact

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has served as a huge promoter of growth for many economies over the years, playing the role of supplementary income source for economies. The trend being identified now, however is that FDIs do come with adverse effect for host economies with one of the sector feeling the impact of the adverse impact being the local entrepreneurship. This study therefore measured the severity of the adverse effect of FDIs on the economy of China whiles also evaluating the contribution of FDIs to the overall economy using Sequential Explanatory Design (SED). Using Statistical Package for Social Scientist (SPSS), the researchers conducted statistical analysis like t-test, Correlation, Multiple Regression Analysis, R-Square, F-statistics and Variance Inflator Factors (VIF). The findings of the study revealed that FDIs indeed have both positive and negative implications for the Chinese economy. The positive effects come in the form of inspiring innovation and infrastructural development, influx of investment capital and the liberalization of the economy form monopolies and unfair trading The negative effect came in the form of stifling domestic entrepreneurship development as the foreign firms compete with local entrepreneurs for market, expertise, labor, capital and space for operation
