This new book takes as its focus a simple yet critical question: Does foreign direct investment lead to weakened environmental regulation, thereby turning developing countries into "pollution havens"? The debate over this question has never before been the focus of a book about China. Phillip Stalley examines the development of Chinese law governing the environmental impact of foreign investors, describes how regional competition for investment has influenced environmental regulation, and analyzes the environmental practices of foreign and Chinese companies. He finds only modest evidence that integration with the global economy has transformed China into a pollution haven. Indeed, after China opened its domestic market, the entry of foreign films largely strengthened the environmental protection regime, including the oversight of foreign firms' environmental practices. Nevertheless, foreign firms (and the competition to lure them) have posed new challenges to controlling industrial pollution. Stalley identifies the conditions under which foreign investment contributes to and undermines environmental protection, offering readers a solid understanding of China's environmental challenges. He also builds on existing theory and provides hypotheses that can be tested with other developing nations.

Results from 2,886 manufacturing joint venture projects from 1993--96 show that EJVs from all source countries go into provinces with high concentrations of foreign investment, relatively abundant stocks of skilled workers, concentrations of potential local suppliers, special incentives, and less state ownership. Environmental stringency does affect location choice, but not as expected. Low environmental levies are a significant attraction only for joint ventures in highly-polluting industries with partners from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan (China). In contrast, joint ventures with partners from OECD sources are not attracted by low environmental levies, regardless of the pollution intensity of the industry. The authors discuss the likely role of technological differences in explaining these results"--Abstract.

The Chinese market is appealing, but the Chinese legal system is very complicated. A basic understanding of Chinese law is absolutely crucial for companies investing in this fast-growing and potentially huge market. Since China is moving toward a socialist market economy and is increasingly integrated into the world market, some aspects of China's commercial law are different from, while others are moving into line with, those of mature market economies. This book provides an introduction to the Chinese legal system, focusing on laws and regulations on foreign direct investment and highlights recent government policies and measures undertaken to intensify economics reforms so as to meet various challenges arising from China's accession to the World Trade Organization.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Regulation of Foreign Mergers and Acquisitions Involving Listed Companies in the People's Republic of China Submitted by ZHANG Lusong for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in June 2006 Due to its advantages in enabling transnational corporations (TNCs) to make full use of existing domestic productive forces and markets and thus being conducive to cost-savings in entering a host country, mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are often preferred by TNCs in pursuing investment in a foreign market worldwide. However, China's foreign M&A market does not flourish despite its high level of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows. For a variety of reasons, China should promote the growth of its foreign M&A market. In fact, foreign M&A involving listed companies is increasing in China due to the potential of its domestic market and its desire to integrate itself into the global economy (evidenced recently by China's accession to the WTO). In this situation, the regulation of foreign M&A involving listed companies is an increasingly important consideration in the country. To appropriately encourage and support foreign M&A, China needs to improve its legal environment. In order to do so, certain policy questions must be addressed first. The writer argues that for a socialist country that practiced a centrally planned economy for several decades and that has determined to develop a market economy, in which M&A is a typical business activity, the Chinese government must in the first place separate its two roles of regulator and representative of state ownership due to the fact that the state is the largest shareholder in the majority of listed companies. In other words, the government should avoid utilizing its administrative power in exercising shareholder rights in enterprises. China should further diversify the mode of exercise of state ownership and reduce its control over competitive industries. At the same time, the state should refrain from unnecessary intervention in the market and make every effort to support and encourage the due function of market mechanisms. Moreover, China needs to change its FDI policy from adopting both favorable treatment and strict controls to national treatment of foreign investors in the context of M&A. In improving its legal system for foreign M&A on the basis of the above policy adjustments, China needs to pay special attention to four aspects: state assets administration, antitrust regulation, enhancement of corporate and securities regimes, and foreign investment control. When doing so, China should base the legal system upon its own social and economic characteristics and at the same time learn from other jurisdictions' experiences.

On the one hand side the Chinese market brings around 1.3 billion new potential consumers and on the other an annual growth rate of around 10%, both are quite attractive for foreign investments. Moreover, the Chinese government is permanently improving the investment climate for foreign enterprises and investors by improving respectively building the required infrastructure or revising business laws and lowering market entry barriers for foreigners for instance. Investing in China is not only a subject for large and international enterprises but also for small and mid sized private companies. China’s progress in accepting market-oriented economic and business principles as well as their 2001 entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) is attracting foreign investors the same way as a growing Chinese middle class and low labor costs. Companies of all sizes understand that by ignoring this prospering and huge market for their goods and services or by not taking ad-vantage of the latent labor arbitrage that they are risking to fall behind their competition.
