Part of China's "Going Out"" strategy, China's OFDI, starting almost from zero, has been growing exponentially since the onset of the financial crisis.
Albeit still minuscule in global terms, China's OFDI is reaching "commercially and geoeconomically significant levels" which have ""begun to challenge internaional investment norms and affect international realtions," according to a Petersen Institute for International Economics Policy Brief (Number PB09-14) by Daniel Rosen and Thilo Hanemann dated June 2009 - "China's Changing Outbound Foreign Direct Investment Profile - Drivers and Policy Implications".

The same two authors completed a Special Report on China's outbound direct foreign investments in the United States -"An American Open Door? - Maximizing the Benefits of Chinese Foreign Direct Investment" dated May 2011 for the Centre on U.S.-China Relations and the Kissinger Institute on China and the United States. Two-thirds of China's ODFI in America are from private enterprises and the national footprints are beginning to widen. The study examines the situation in detail and proposes ways in which such investments may be better managed.
