The purpose of this chapter is to review the factors that have driven and constrained mainland Chinese investments in the EU from 2000 to 2013, and to outline the policy recommendations that arise for the EU and its Member States wishing to increase their share of Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI). The geographical focus of investment for this chapter is the EU of 27 Member States (EU-27). The narrower boundaries of the EU of 15 Member States (EU-15) will be used when we refer to time periods before 2004 (i.e. the pre-Fifth-Enlargement members).
