Perspectives from China: How concerns about the Russian market influence Chinese investment strategies

Russia is becoming a very attractive destination for Chinese investors primarily due to its natural resources and the capacity of the domestic market. However, there is a significant disconnect between the attractiveness of the Russian market and hands-on knowledge of it: 91% of major Chinese businesses find the Russian market attractive, but less than a quarter of them know enough about it, and what's worse, none believe they have good understanding of Russian legislation. This research paper highlights investment trends in Russia, what they are, why they are important, and includes the success story of a multinational telecommunications equipment and services company in China that made a substantial investment in Russia.
