  • Chapter 6 Chinese Foreign Direct Investment in Central and Eastern Europe: an Institutional Perspective
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository of the Academy's Library Chapter 6 Chinese foreign direct investment in central and eastern Europe: an institutional perspective Agnieszka McCaleb and Ágnes Szunomár 1. Introduction Emerging-country multinational companies are increasingly integrating into the world economy through foreign direct investment (FDI), with Chinese outward FDI being the most spectacular case in terms of rapid growth, geographical diversity and takeovers of established Western brands. Chinese firms invest mainly in Asia, Latin America and Africa, where they seek markets and natural resources. However, the developed economies of Western Europe and the United States have recently also become important targets, offering markets for Chinese products and assets Chinese firms lack, such as advanced technologies, managerial knowledge and distribution networks. In recent years Chinese companies have increasingly targeted central and eastern European countries, with the Visegrad countries (Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia), together with Romania and Bulgaria, among the most popular destinations.1 Although compared with the Chinese economic presence globally or even in the developed world, China’s economic impact on the central and eastern European countries is fairly small it has accelerated significantly in the past decade: trade volume is growing constantly, while we can observe rising inflows of Chinese investments in the region, which are expected to increase due to recent political developments: strengthening Chinese–Hungarian relations, Poland becoming China’s strategic partner (at the end of 2011), the establishment of the China-Central and Eastern Europe Cooperation Secretariat in September 2012, the 16 + 1 initiative and the One Belt One Road.

Based on our channel checks and data already released for Jul-Aug [email protected] S0980510120027 2012, 3Q sales volume of various sub-sectors was in line with expectations, and the profitability of the TV sub-sector slightly beat expectations. The subsidies for energy efficient home-appliance products introduced in June are unlikely to materially boost sales until three to six months after their launch. We expect the 4Q y-o-y sales Sales Contact volume growth of air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines and LCD TVs will be 7.5%, 5.8%, 5.0% and 0.8% respectively, representing a modest rebound from the Roger Chiman Managing Director first three quarters. +852 2248 3598 [email protected] Divergence within the sector intensifies, and we suggest waiting for buying Chris Berney opportunities amid price pullbacks.

After the market close in the US yesterday 4th June the Wall Street Journal published an Op-Ed by US Senator Marco Rubio in which he announced that he intends to sponsor the “Equitable Act” – an acronym for Ensuring Quality Information and Transparency for Abroad-Based Listings on our Exchanges. At this time the text of the bill has not been published and we are seeking additional information about its contents and likelihood of passing. However, our early reaction is that this has the potential to cause significant changes in the domain for listings of Chinese firms going forward with the potential for de- listing of Chinese firms on US exchanges and re-listing elsewhere (most likely Hong Kong). More generally we see this development as part of an increased escalation of tensions between China and the US on multiple fronts which should cap the valuation multiple for China equities, in particular in the offshore index constituents and US-listed parts of the universe. We provide a list of the potentially impacted China / HK names with either primary or secondary listings on Amex, NYSE or Nasdaq.

    The role of the Belt and Road Initiative on Chinese multinational enterprise strategy: a multiple case study A Master Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Economics and Business by Justin Brandsma S2734818 Supervisor: H.U. Haq Co-assessor: J.R. de Wit WC: 16484 June 2020 Groningen, The Netherlands The role of the BRI on Chinese MNE strategy 2 The role of the BRI on Chinese MNE strategy Foreword In front of you lies my master thesis on: “the Role of the Belt and Road Initiative on Chinese multinational strategy: a multiple case study“, written as part of the master’s degree in International Business and Management at the University of Groningen. I consider this thesis to be the culmination of 6 beautiful student years in the even more beautiful city of Groningen, a wonderful period of my life! My choice for this thesis topic dates back to my late middle-school and early high-school years where I developed a big interest in the ancient Greek history and mythology. Especially the tales of Alexander the Great who managed to expand the Macedonian empire all the way to northeast India were intriguing to me. This Greek venture East in 334BC led to the establishment of the earliest version of a trade route between Constantinople (Turkey) and Xi’an (China), known as the Silkroad. 1600 years later Marco Polo would travel this route from Venice to China and work as the personal advisor of the Mongolian ruler: Kublai Khan. The accumulation of his experiences and adventures in the East came together in the brilliant travel memoire written by Rusticello da Pisa named ‘il Milione’ or commonly known as the ‘the travels of Marco Polo’.
