Foreign direct investment (FDI) flows are an increasingly important dimension of US-China economic relations. In recent years, US-China FDI has evolved into a two-way street, with combined annual investment reaching almost $60 billion in 2016, supporting some 140,000 American jobs.
However, recent developments are changing the outlook: worries about capital flight have led Beijing to restrict outbound investment and to promise fairer treatment to foreign firms in an attempt to reverse slowing inflows. In the US, the Trump administration and Congress are re-evaluating long-standing FDI policies as the rapid increase of Chinese investment has rekindled national security and economic concerns.
On May 17, 2017, the National Committee on US-China Relations (NCUSCR) and Rhodium Group (RHG) hosted an event to release the latest data of the US-China FDI Project and convene leading experts from government, industry and research communities to discuss the outlook for China-US FDI in light of recent policy developments.
