中国企业在英国的并购投资

Abstract:The UK has been a key destination for Chinese investment in Europe and momentum has been well kept during 2016-2017 despite frustrating events like Brexit，an early election and terrorist attacks. The new Prime Minister Theresa May has kept the FDI regime open，though she had indicated caution against foreign investment before taking office. The newly structured National Infrastructure Commission is a positive signal too in that decision-making related to infrastructure deals is expected to be less restrained by party politics and in turn more efficient. This will further enhance the UK’s attractiveness as a destination for infrastructural investment，which is already ranked ninth by Arcadis global survey. The motivation of the UK government to revive economic cooperation with China seems to be growing，as it starts Brexit negotiations which are not expected to be an easy “divorce” with the EU. As the UK finds itself having to be more reliant on China to sustain economic growth and figures out how to interface its “Northern Powerhouse Plan” and Industrial Strategy with Chinese economic drives including the OBOR，prospect for Chinese investment in the UK remains positive.
