“China’s Outward Investment: Does Europe Matter?” – Duncan Freeman, Research Fellow at Brussels Institute of Contemporary China Studies. Tuesday 7.30pm, Lecture Room B (Queen’s)

Duncan Freeman is a Research Fellow at the Brussels Institute of Contemporary China Studies. His research on China’s economy focuses on trade and investment and he is the author of a number of publications on business in China, including a guide for Chinese companies doing business in Europe.

Mr. Freeman will discuss the development of outward foreign direct investment by Chinese companies, following China’s success in attracting large volumes of inward foreign direct investment over the last thirty years. The vast majority of investments are taking place in Asia, but Mr Freeman will focus on the comparatively small percentage making their way into the European Union.

This event is free to EAS members, £2 for non-members. If you would like to have dinner with the speaker, please email Cat by 6pm on Monday 17th May.
