Intensifying the economic interrelationship
Chinese FDI proj ects are intensifying the economic
interrelationship between Germany and China. In the
formof greenfield investment as well as mergers and
acquisitions (M&A) they are bringing fresh capital into
the country and creating and sustaining jobs. A whole
range of German businesses that have changed over to
Chinese ownership in the last fewyears have had good
experiences with their newowners.
These include a
long-termcommitment to the location, employment
guarantees and improved access to the Chinese market.
However, due to the specific background of Chinese FDI
and particularly of M&A, they are also accompanied by
challenges, which go beyond mere economic effects.
