“出去。 去全球性”长期是集会啼声为开发竞争能力的中国政府的鼓励。 它是一项关键明确政策。

不，我们这里不谈论奥林匹克; “去的全球性”手段经济和企业。

并且中国意味事务为英国。

教训是成功的钥匙在这些企业奥林匹克不是冬天采取所有态度，但是合作和合作可能做优胜者我们全部。

标志是清楚的英国拾起中国设置的挑战的步幅。

这个月在北京，英国头等大教堂Gordon Brown在中国的增长的国外直接投资(ODI)给予了欢迎在英国。

“我要英国是 第一个地点为中国投资”他说。

讲话他的愿望为“新的水平”的Anglo中国合作，总理布朗催促“密切合作在我们的二个国家之间”如关键为经济繁荣为所有。

他说他想看在贸易的50%增量到2009年底。

中国首要的Wen Jiabao反应了： “我们将立刻扩展贸易和投资”。

如此，它非常清楚中国ODI投资者推挤在一门户开放主义在英国。

但，谁能分享十亿个美元饼？

Having worked in international trade and FDI/ODI between the UK and China for 17 years, I am convinced that for China to sustain economic growth requires acquiring competitive advantages. Therefore, it has to institute long-term partnerships with international players. Utilizing M&A is the best and quickest approach to acquire strengths and then expand economic growth in developed markets.

Some recent subtle changes are already evident. Our company has been increasingly providing consulting services to some of China’s most well known private companies. China firms are struggling for further room for the economy growth within itself. They have to deal with the overcapacity of domestic economic activities. They are ambitious to learn western managerial skills and know-how to establish their own brands in the marketplace, and then increase their international awareness and positions.

Chinese enterprises are eager to offer their innovated technologies in order to develop globalised appeals. They want to swiftly move away from ‘pile it high, sell it cheap’ and ‘Made in China’ scenario, to situations of higher added value, higher quality and “Invented in China”. Meanwhile, China government’s ‘Going out’ strategy and financial support are strong motivators for Chinese enterprises to build a new business outside of China. China Business Solutions has worked closely with UK public sector, at local, regional and national levels from the beginning. We have been commissioned by various governments to carry out research projects in order to support strategic development of Anglo-Chinese enterprises. Noticeably, our research services have also been used by European governments and Chinese Government departments. In recent years, we have increasingly been engaged by some UK and European agencies to help shape their strategy to attract inward investment from China. We also provide value-added services to support Chinese companies wishing to enter and set up in the UK, through advice on entry strategy, technology collaboration and distribution channels.”

Since entry to the WTO in 2001, and with its expanding economic power starting to engage with international investment opportunities, by 2006, China’s ODI had increased to a figured of USD 16.13 billion. (Data source: China Ministry of Commerce).

Ernst & Young report indicates that the UK is the largest recipient of Chinese FDI in Europe.

London is the most popular marketplace for Chinese companies expanding into Europe. More than 400 Chinese companies have invested directly into the UK and almost 50 Chinese companies are now listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Why is the UK the favorite target country for Chinese enterprises investment?

Because the UK’s lighter regulatory approach and open trade environment has led to a globalised marketplace to state own and private investors in the country. It’s open for business.

Further, the UK’s direct access to continental Europe, Africa and Middle East territories is highly beneficial for Chinese firms to easily expand across the EMEA markets.

I believe that Chinese ODI is driven by mounting demand and requires sourcing of international energy and raw material resources to secure their survival and cost advantages.

In my opinion, the primary key sectors that China’s FDI in UK has been focusing on are categorized as: retail, manufacturing, IT and telecommunications.

Most recently, as a consequence of China’s critical environmental and pollution issues, renewable energy and natural resources have topping the prioritised investing sectors.

One of the biggest challenge facing Anglo-Chinese enterprises is the hiring of bilingual experts to bridge the language gap and establish better understanding of business perspective.

We’ve expanded recruitment facilities to help British and Chinese clients to search and select English-Mandarin speaking professionals in the UK.

We are very circumspect in putting round pegs in round holes to ensure the future development of business for all concerned. Square pegs similarly.
