Sino-US trade frictions; outward direct investment;Abstract
In recent years, the continuous escalation of trade frictions between China and the United States has had a profound impact on the economic pattern of China and even the world, and posed a challenge to the internationalization process of Chinese enterprises. Affected by the Sino-US trade friction, the uncertainty of the macroeconomic and trade environment between China and the United States has increased significantly. This paper first reviews and analyzes the root causes and evolution of Sino-US trade frictions. By analyzing the data released by the Statistical Bulletin of China's Outward Direct Investment, this paper reveals the multifaceted impact of Sino-US trade frictions on the scale, industry distribution, investment entities and geographical location selection of Chinese enterprises, and points out the challenges encountered by Chinese enterprises in M&A activities in the United States. Finally, this paper proposes strategies to deal with Sino-US trade frictions and promote the steady development of China's outward direct investment from four dimensions: trade consultation strategy, regional diversification of investment regions, corporate strategic adjustment and government policy guidance, aiming to seek new growth opportunities for Chinese enterprises in the global market, build lasting competitive advantages, and promote the stable growth of China's outward direct investment.
