Chinese overseas investments in Europe and especially in
Germany have grown exponentially in the past years. 2016 was a
record-breaking year in terms of deals and volume transaction with
respect to Chinese mergers and acquisitions. China's outbound
M&A grew by 246%, 3.5 times the previous record year in
2015.
Among the European countries Germany was/is the most prominent
target for merger and acquisitions for Chinese investors.
Germany's strong industrial manufacturing, chemical,
renewable energy, automotive industries and computer hardware
companies offer attractive investment opportunities for Chinese
investors who are seeking for growth, technical know-how and
intellectual property for enhancing their existing products.
