Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) between China and the U.S. passed 60 billion U.S. dollars in 2016, more than any other year in history, said a report jointly released by the Rhodium Group and the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations (NCUSCR).
荣鼎咨询公司与美中关系全国委员会的一份联合报告指出，2016年中美之间的对外直接投资超600亿美元，多于历史上任何一年。
"U.S.-China two-way FDI reached an all-time high in 2016, elevating the
importance of this
facet of the
bilateral economic relationship," said the report.
"What used to be a one-way street - with money flowing predominantly from the United States to China - is now a two-way highway with tens of billions of dollars in annual FDI flowing in each direction," it added.
The report said the
cumulative value of U.S. FDI transactions in China reached over 240 billion U.S. dollars by the end of 2016, while the cumulative Chinese FDI in the U.S. totaled 110 billion U.S. dollars during the same period.
With Chinese economy growing
robustly, Chinese investment in the U.S. has expanded at record pace. In 2016, Chinese companies invested a record 46 billion U.S. dollars in U.S., tripling the amount seen in 2015 and a tenfold increase compared to just five years ago, said the
joint report.
Apart from the rapid growth for two-way FDIs, the variety of
investors and target industries have also expanded from traditional energy and real estate industries to consumer services and products industries, reflecting China's growing appetite for more investment in order to meet the growing domestic consumption demand.
According to the report, in contrast to the dominance of fossil fuel investments before 2013, more than 90 percent of Chinese FDI in 2016 focused on services and advanced manufacturing.
