Germany is one of the most important target countries for Chinese investors and ranks tenth among all Chinese investment countries in terms of capital stock abroad. This is the conclusion of a study by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW) in cooperation with Peking University (China’s Investments in Germany and the Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic). „The decisive boost for Chinese foreign investment in Germany came from the Chinese government’s paradigm shift of wanting to increase domestic economic growth primarily through innovation and high-quality production activities,“ writes author and IfW researcher Wan-Hsin Liu in the study.
