Washington, Feb 26 — Europe has attracted twice as much investment as the US from Chinese investors in the past two years for commercial opportunities and political reasons, the Rhodium Group, a US consulting firm said in a report.
Annual flows of Chinese direct investment to the European Union (EU) increased from less than $1 billion before 2008 to an average of $3 billion in 2009 and 2010, before tripling to more than $10 billion in the past two years, according to the report.
In the US, China direct investment surged from less than $1 billion in 2008 to $5 billion in 2010, before dropping to $4.7 billion in 2011 and reaching a record high of $6.5 billion in 2012, which remained below the levels seen in the EU in the past two years, reported Xinhua.
This was mostly driven by commercial opportunities resulting from the fiscal and economic crisis in the Eurozone, according to Thilo Hanemann, the research director of the Rhodium Group and the author of the report.
"Chinese investors seized opportunities to buy into cash-strapped European industrials and assets promising stable long-term returns such as utilities and other infrastructure," he noted.
For example, China invested more than $5 billion in EU transportation infrastructure and utilities through 2012, while the US attracted close to zero investment in transportation infrastructure from China.
Hanemann also mentioned national security concerns as an important factor in affecting China's investment in the report.
Looking forward, Hanemann believed the US would remain an attractive place for Chinese companies, but the political response would be critical for future deal-making in both economies.
