AB  - The Chinese government has liberalized the foreign investment
environment considerably in order to encourage inward investment,
primarily through joint ventures. Reviews the changes in the regulatory
environment and presents new data from UK partners engaged in Chinese
joint ventures. The findings indicate that the main force motivating UK
firms to form joint ventures is to gain faster entry to the Chinese
market. The joint ventures allow UK firms access to largely intangible
inputs that they would otherwise have difficulty acquiring. While choice
of Chinese partners appears to be highly constrained, on the whole the
UK partners analysed the joint venture decision thoroughly and generally
concluded that they had joined forces with the “right”
partner.
