Partnership Opportunities for UK and Chinese Businesses

February 28, 2018

China’s outbound foreign direct investment reached $116 billion in 2014, an increase of 15.5 percent from 2013, making China a net capital exporter for the first time ever. Among China’s investments in Europe, the UK continues to be the most attractive destination. In 2014, the UK gained $5.1 billion of Chinese investment, close to 30% of Europe’s total. 

CKGSB partners with China-Britain Business Council on the annual China Outbound Conference in Beijing on November 3

China’s outbound foreign direct investment reached $116 billion in 2014, an increase of 15.5 percent from 2013, making China a net capital exporter for the first time ever.
