Investing in the United States:Is the US Ready for FDI from China?
(2010)
Abstract
The United States has one of the most open investment frameworks in the world. However, developing an appropriate regulatory and political strategy is particularly important for Chinese MNEs entering the US through M&As as opposed to greenfield investments. As these MNEs navigate the US political landscape and face the liability of foreignness, they are also offered protection through a state-to-state dispute settlement mechanism and applicable international investment agreements (IIAs). Through a thorough understanding of the US’s regulatory framework, compliance training, integration in communities through linkages, working with local partners who understand US regulations, and attention to CSR, China’s firm can become successful insiders in the US.
This overview is part of a volume that contains chapters by Steven Globerman and Daniel Shapiro; David N. Fagan; Timothy Frye and Pablo M. Pinto; Lorraine Eden and Stewart R. Miller; Mark Kantor; and Curtis J. Milhaupt.
