Summary:
Beginning in 2000, the Chinese government launched the "Western Development Strategy" to foster the regional development of the inland regions and actively sought foreign investment to support the effort. This collection of papers presented at an October 2001 conference reviews regional patterns of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in China, outlines investment requirements, compares the advantages of China's regions, and details the types of FDI sought for the Chinese hinterland. Lessons learned from the experiences of Canada, Turkey, Germany, and Brazil are discussed. There is no subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
