Foreign Direct Investment by the European Union has shown a demonstrable drop in China in 2007, sharply contrasting their thriving trade relations.
Figures reportedly illustrate that FDI from the EU into China, dropped sharply from EUR6 bn in 2006 to EUR1.8 bn last year. Likewise, when FDI
from other parts of the world into the European Union soared to 89 per
cent, China’s investment in the EU also dropped appreciably from EUR2.2
bn in 2006 to EUR0.5 bn last year.
The EU was said to be China's largest trading partner in 2007, while
China was the EU's second largest trading partner, but in the same year
China tailed three other major emerging economies in FDI in 2007.
Russia took in EUR17.1 bn, India EUR10.9 bn and Brazil
EUR7.1 bn in European direct investment.
