Helped China’ s FDI to catch up
These developments have helped China’ s FDI to catch up
significantly with that of the developed countries that have
dominated global FDI in recent decades.
This can be seen by
comparing UNCTAD data from2000 showing China in j ust
32nd place (0. 1 %of the global FDI outflows) and data from
2015 showing China in third place with 8. 7 percent, out-
pacing important outward investors such as Germany. Data
from MOFCOM et al. (2016) even puts China in second place
in 2015.
The absolute volume of Chinese FDI outflows has
skyrocketed by a factor of 140 from US $91
