The legal regime for foreign investment in the People's Republic of China over the past 15 years has reflected a basic tension between encouraging foreign business activities and maintaining state control over them. While China's policies may be viewed as attempts to pursue an independent path towards development, neo-classical and critical perspectives on the role of the state in economic development provide useful contexts within which to view the PRC's efforts at harnessing foreign investment in pursuit of economic growth. This article reviews the structure and performance of foreign investment law and policy in the People's Republic of China in the context of these alternative approaches to the role of the state in economic development.

Shortly after its establishment, the People's Republic of China began to implement a policy of providing investments and assistance abroad. Although the motives for this were different in the decades that followed, the Chinese leadership never gave up on the decision to make foreign investment and assistance a central part of Chinese foreign policy. The author employs a structural-functional analysis and comparative analysis to prove the basic hypothesis that the main reason for the development of the Chinese model of foreign investment and assistance is the intention of the Chinese leadership to show that the People's Republic of China is a "responsible great power", one which contributes to the solving important global problems, while simultaneously working to achieve its most important goal, the "Chinese dream", by 2049.
