Title: Europeanisation Strategy of Chinese Companies: Its Perils and Promises
Abstract: The magnitude of outward FDI from China over the recent years has been 
	 impressive. It is widely acknowledged that China's government plays an 
	 active role in encouraging its companies to go global and become 
	 multinational as they realise the value of outward FDI. The paper traces 
	 the development of China's outward direct investment policies and 
	 discusses the various motives of Chinese companies' 
	 internationalisation. More specifically, in this paper we look at the 
	 European continent as the emerging destination for Chinese outward 
	 direct investment and analyse the implication this trend has for 
	 European companies and governments.
