China‘s Business Environment from the perspectives of Economics

Since the reform and opening, China has become one of the most attractive places for doing business in the world: main destination for world FDI, almost half of the FDI flowed to developing countries have gone to China, and China has become the destination for exports and the source of imports for many countries. In recent years, especially since the escalation of trade frictions between SINO-US, and the epidemic of COVID -19, the situation seems to have changed, and corresponding arguments have emerged.

The Overall attractive business environment of a country as a (potential) market or investment site for international or domestic business depends on balancing the benefits, costs and risks associated with doing business in that country. Based on several sets of typical facts of government activities and business responds, the lecturer would like to discuss with the listeners on determinants of the attractiveness of China's business environment for short and long term from the perspectives of Economics.
