2 POLAND – DESTINATION OF CHINESE INVESTMENT

3 Zmiana kierunku inwestycji Obecna sytuacja: - średni roczny napływ inwestycji do Chin – 60 mld USD (rok 2005 – 72 mld USD) Nowe trendy: - restrykcje dla zagranicznych firm, które przejmują chińskie przedsiębiorstwa (sektor bankowy, detaliczny i produkcyjny) - ”go global” policy - zachęcanie rodzimych firm do inwestowania zagranicą w celu zdobywania większego udziału w globalnych rynkach (w rozmaitych branżach) - umocnienie pozycji wobec zagranicznej konkurencji - podważanie zalet przyciągania FDI przez działaczy politycznych - promocja chińskich technologii i rozmaitych gałęzi chińskiego przemysłu na świecie - omijanie barier celnych poprzez inwestycje w danym kraju
