Avoir une empreinte de pas signicative en Chine est devenu un impératif stratégique pour les compagnies multinationales de partout dans le monde. L'attraction est la demande apparemment insatiable de la Chine des produits, des services, du capital et de la technologie. George D. Martin, l'associé et la chaise du Faegre et de la pratique en matière de Benson Chine, voit la perche courante d'acquisition en Chine car le point culminant logique des tendances d'investissement étranger qu'il a observées la première fois en pratiquant à Changhaï au milieu des années 90. Martin s'attend à cette tendance de M&A de continuer. Mais en quelques années à venir, il conseille, ce ne sera pas juste les compagnies étrangères sur l'acheter-côté des affaires frontalières de M&A impliquant la Chine.
