“21世纪海上丝绸之路”与港口发展系列之三:海外投资风险警示

Warning for overseas investment risk

海上丝路沿线国家大多属于欠发达地区，政治、经济等投资风险依然存在，不容忽视。

It has been two years since Chairman Xi Jinping visited Indonesia in October 2013 and the first time put forward the initiative to build 'the 21 st Century Marine Silk Road'. The pace of China's overseas investment and domestic investment attraction is quickening.According to the Ministry of Commerce, from January to September,2015, China's enterprise had the direct investment to the 48 countries all the way along the line, totaling $12.03 billion and up 66.2% a year earlier. The investment mainly flowed to Singapore, Kazakhstan, Laos,Indonesia, Russia and Thailand, etc.; 244 enterprises were set up by the countries along the line in China during the first eight months, up54.4% from a year earlier, the actual amount of investment of foreign capital was $360 million, which is fruitful. However, most of the countries along the maritime silk road belong to the less developed regions, and thus, investment risks still exist, such as politics, economy etc., which cannot be ignored.
