More Information
Foreign Direct Investment in China is one of the most comprehensive studies of FDI in China and provides a remarkable background of information on the evolution of China’s FDI policies over the last 30 years.

Chunlai Chen presents a compelling and thorough analysis of the leading theoretical explanations of FDI and a series of rigorous empirical examinations of the location determinants of FDI. He provides a comprehensive analysis of the differences in investment and production behaviour between the major investors as well as an in-depth investigation of the impacts of FDI on China’s economy.

This book is a highly focused and unique work of theoretical analysis and empirical study of FDI in China. It is a valuable and important reference for scholars and students who are interested in FDI in general and in Chinese economic studies in particular.
Critical Acclaim
‘Overall, this book demonstrates that the wasteful chasm that has emerged between the evolving flexibility of international business theorising and the conceptual and contextual limitations of mainstream studies that are predominately driven by particular techniques can be bridged to considerable purpose and with great value. Within its diversity and eclecticism, the book provides a range of coherent insights and perspectives on MNEs’ operations in China.’
– Asian-Pacific Economic Literature

‘For readers looking for a comprehensive, rigorously quantitative analysis of foreign direct investment (FDI) in China, there is no better work than Chunlai Chen’s Foreign Direct Investment in China. In the book he analyzes a wide range of issues ranging from the contribution of FDI to China’s growth to why FDI is concentrated in certain Chinese provinces and not others. Readers with an economics or statistical background will get the most out of the book, but it is accessible and informative for many others.’
