Features: For investors from developing countries, the open economies of Western countries are targeted in absorbing products, and the free-flowing labor markets primarily serve Westerners themselves. The shortcomings of democratic and legal-ordered societies sometimes bring unexpected troubles. This is mainly manifested in: market access for goods, market access for labor, and ideological discrimination. The enthusiasm of Western countries for the Chinese market is different from the concept of Western countries welcoming Chinese enterprises to invest. Westerners tend to view China as a vast emerging fertile ground for Western products rather than a source of capital for the West.
Over more than a decade in Western Europe and North America, the author Che Er has been involved in technical imports of large-scale equipment, international import and export trade, the establishment of joint ventures, and the bidding of engineering projects. He has managed joint ventures in Europe and maintained close relationships with investment banks and fund companies in the United States. Through various forms of cooperation, the author has developed critical thinking about the field of Sino-Western collaboration. In the book Investing in the West, the author analyzes and compares the different concepts, behavioral patterns, values, and social systems of Western countries in the form of economic essays, offering insightful explanations on the misconceptions of Chinese overseas investment, the investment environment in Western countries, and the risks of currency and exchange rates.
