Description
Britain Leads in Chinese Investment: A Shift in TrendsA new study reveals that Britain received the most Chinese investment among European countries over the past two decades, with sixty billion dollars poured in. This surpasses other top destinations like Switzerland and Germany. The UKs relaxed investment rules attracted significant Chinese capital into major projects, even surpassing Belt and Road Initiative members like Italy and Greece. However, since the UK introduced a new investment screening regime in 2022, Chinese investment has plummeted, particularly in building projects. The government now aims to ease rules for deals with low national security risks, such as AI and energy. The study also found that wealthy Western countries, not Asia or Africa, received the biggest share of Chinese spending, with Chinas global lending portfolio reaching two point one trillion dollars.
