Selling China: Foreign Direct Investment during the Reform Era

Cambridge Modern China

by Yasheng Huang

This book about China's integration into the world economy proposes a radically different perspective. Most economists view China's large foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows as the result of China's economic success. This study views the same phenomenon as a function of the imperfections in the Chinese economic system. It uses economic theory to explain FDI to a greater extent than previous studies on the same topic. It also presents comparative FDI data of additional countries, making it more comprehensive than previous studies which focused only on China.

I've started reading this book recently as a part of my FDI in China research and was greatly interested in author's approach which is very much different from the bulk of works I've seen so far on the issue. I'm looking forward to further reading!
