From the Paper:

"Investing in a foreign nation can prove highly profitable for companies or groups of independent investors (or government entities themselves), but it is also a strategy that contains a great deal of risk. There are, however, well-established ways of reducing the risk to the foreign investor. The most important of these is in fact the same way that one reduces risk in any investment, which is to become as knowledgeable as possible about the present and future conditions that will affect that investment. The difficulties with foreign (over domestic) investment arise primarily from the fact that there are more conditions to be considered in foreign investment as well as the fact that it may be more difficult for the investor to obtain accurate information about conditions in another country. This is likely to be especially true of countries that are relatively closed to foreigners. This paper explores some of the issues involved in American investment in China. Such investments allow us to learn both a great deal about the specific relationship between the United States and American investors and the Chinese government and Chinese business people but also demonstrates something of the complexities that obtain in any case of foreign investment."
