More EU Investment
Europe has attracted twice as much investment as the United States from Chinese investors in the past two years， U.S. consulting firm Rhodium Group said in a report on February 25.
Annual flows of Chinese direct investment to the EU increased from less than $1 billion before 2008 to an average of $3 billion in 2009 and 2010， before tripling to more than$10 billion in the past two years， according to the report.
In the United States， China’s direct investment surged from less than $1 billion in 2008 to $5 billion in 2010， before dropping to $4.7 billion in 2011 and reaching a record high of $6.5 billion in 2012， which remained below the levels seen in the EU in the past two years.
This was mostly driven by commercial opportunities resulting from the fiscal and economic crisis in the eurozone， according to Thilo Hanemann， Research Director of the Rhodium Group and the author of the report.
