RESIALE VIANO, José María. La expansión internacional de las empresas automotrices de China a través de la inversión extranjera directa (2001-2020). Relac. int. [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.62, pp.21-51. ISSN 2314-2766.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/0.24215/23142766e144.

The purpose of this paper is to explain the Chinese automotive companies’ "going global" between 2001 and 2020 through direct foreign investment. To this end, we analyze the quantitative evolution of the investments, the reasons that boosted the companies’ going global, the entry forms of those investments in different countries, and the geographical distribution of the capital invested. We have tracked, recorded and systematized the foreign investment made by Chinese automakers, for which we have used press articles, the information published by automotive companies themselves, and specialized literature.

Keywords : China; Automotive industry; Go Global Strategy; Foreign direct investment; International economic relations.
