Chinese foreign direct investment: the european policy agenda

Chinese acquisitions and other direct investments in Europe are growing rapidly, reaching a new record high of 18bn USD in 2014.

This event started with an update on Chinese investments in Europe, based on a new report by the Mercator Institute for China Studies in Berlin and the Rhodium Group.

Experts from institutions, business and academia then discussed the policy agenda from a European perspective, including the EU-China Bilateral Investment Agreement and other potential areas such as a more coherent national security review process and state aid disciplines.
