“…Nolan (2001, p.187) has argued that 'the competitive capability of China's large firms after two decades of reform is still painfully weak in relation to the global giants'. Compared with the MNCs from the developed countries, the weaknesses of Chinese firms can include; limited knowledge of overseas markets and limited marketing capability; weakness in R&D; lack of international brands or trade names; a lack of strategic focus and a lack of experience of coordinating overseas operations (Warner, Ng & Xu, 2004). Many of these overseas affiliates have lost money (Cai, 1999;Quan, 2001).…”

“…Several scholars have traced the way that the internationalization of Chinese enterprises has evolved through a number of stages (e.g., Cai, 1999;Tseng, 1994;Warner, Ng & Xu, 2004). The earlier stages up to the 1990s were largely experimental and subject to strong state regulation.…”

“…The earlier stages up to the 1990s were largely experimental and subject to strong state regulation. The 1990s witnessed a significantly greater expansion of overseas Chinese affiliates, but problems often arose from a lack of strategic focus, from the limited scale and fragmentation of many projects, and from inexperience in coordinating overseas operations (Warner, Ng & Xu, 2004;Zhang & Van Den Bulcke, 1996). Many of these overseas affiliates were unprofitable (Cai, 1999;Quan, 2001).…”

To date, China's offshore factories and outward FDI have received little attention in the literature, even if China has been the country with the largest outward FDI of all of the developing nations. The objective of this paper is to provide a contribution to the understanding of Chinese enterprise activity abroad, drawing on the published documents and case analysis. The paper highlights that Chinese firms need to take a learning approach to their internationalization processgoing international not only means to gain access to new markets abroad, or make better use of the internal production capacity, it still can be an opportunity to learn from the international business environment and make the organization look beyond its daily routines.

“…This phenomenon has generated many studies on the trends, motivations, and consequences of Chinese FDI. However, in early 2000s the majority of studies on China's outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) were mainly descriptive research or some comprehensive case studies on several high-profile Chinese MNEs like H. Liu and Li (2002), and Warner, Sek Hong, and Xiaojun (2004). These studies present simple descriptive data on China's OFDI and/or theoretical arguments.…”

The paper re-investigates the determinants of China's outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) employing panel data analysis collecting between 2003 and 2014. The results highlight that the market-seeking variables as GDP, GDP Per Capita, and openness to t rade have a positive impact on China's OFDI. In addition, Chinese investors are likely to be not associated with economic growth of host countries. Importantly, the previous studies confirmed that only the rich natural resources and the weak institutions countries attracted China's OFDI. However, we found out that, in recent years, not only weak institutions but also good institutions with rich natural resources countries attracted China's OFDI. Moreover, China -ASEAN FTA and cultural proximity between the host country and China both have a significant positive effect of China's OFDI.
