Abstract:

Based on the behavior characteristics of China's OFDI in countries along the Belt and Road, this paper introduces non-performing investment indicators to evaluate the performance of China's OFDI. The results show that China's OFDI is highly concentrated in location distribution and industry selection, leading to non-performing investment presenting "double high"characteristics. That is, more than 70% of non-performing investment is highly concentrated in Central Asia-West Asia and the new Eurasian land bridge area, and more than 80% of non-performing investment is concentrated in environmentally sensitive industries such as metals, transportation and energy. In the future, it is of necessity to promote the transformation and upgrading of China's OFDI at the industrial level, implement diversified location selection strategy, optimize the industrial layout of investment, and strengthen the awareness of environmental protection and responsibility of enterprises in OFDI.

Key words: Countries along the Belt and Road, Outward Foreign Direct Investment (OFDI), OFDI performance, comprehensive performance of overseas Iinvestment, non-performing investment
