Abstract

China’s outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) has become a popular area of research as its impact has widened. Buckley and colleagues (2007) investigate the determinants of Chinese OFDI and suggest that capital market imperfections, special ownership advantages, and institutional factors are potential arguments to be nested in the general theory of FDI. From the political economy point of view, institutional escapism and governmental promotion are logically complementary to each other to offset the disadvantages of emerging market enterprises in global competition (Luo et al., 2010). A recent empirical study shows that the entry mode choice of Chinese firms for OFDI depends largely on a firm’s strategic fit and its strategic intent (Cui & Jiang, 2009). Cross-border merger and acquisition (M&A) has become the primary mode of entry for Chinese firms (Alon & McIntyre, 2008).
