China Goes Global 2009 is the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada’s most ambitious survey of Chinese outward investment intentions to date. Covering more than 1100 respondents, the report presents a rich array of data on the existing pattern of outward investment and its likely trajectory in the years ahead.
   APAC have partnered with the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade on this study, which is unmatched in its coverage and detail. This report comes out at a time of unprecedented global interest in Chinese outward investment. As the world economy slowly recovers from the severe recession of 2008‐09, Chinese capital is on the one hand much sought after, and on the other hand, much misunderstood (and, in some cases, feared). This survey provides a basis for better understanding of Chinese outward investment and the challenges faced not only by host countries, but also by the vast majority of Chinese enterprises, which ‐‐ as the survey reveals ‐‐ are still neophytes at “going global”.
