This paper analyzes the current situation of China’s outward foreign direct investment (FDI) and its main features. It analyzes the losses suffered as well as the major risks that China’s outward FDI faced during 2008 and 2009. Through interpretation of reports on outward FDI and Co-operation Country (region) Guide (2009 Edition) issued by the Ministry of Commerce, this paper argues that the primary risk of China’s overseas direct investment is the incompatibility of institutions.
