Chinese foreign direct investment is without a doubt one of the most discussed and debated topics in the world of international trade and investment. The prawling tentacles of Beijing seem to be extending to the four corners of earth, wherever red dirt and black coal can be found. In the recently released statistical bulletin of Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) by the Ministry f Commerce, total stock of Chinese FDI had reached a staggering 1 trillion USD.

The rapid expansion of Chinese investment activities is unnerving politicians from Washington to Wellington. Perhaps the most controversial aspect of Chinese Investment is Beijing's appetite and apparent willingness to do business with lepers of the international system, such as Burma, Sudan and Iran.
