Summary:

This book explores the characteristics of China's outward foreign investment, its motivation, its sector distribution, and its geographical distribution to illustrate the current pattern of 'merchant-state dualism' in China's overseas foreign direct investment. It thus concludes that merchant-state dualism is the most suitable model for explaining contemporary Chinese government-business relations.
