Hamburg/Beijing. "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated", Mark Twain is supposed to have quipped, reacting to some fake news... That appears also to be the case for the Outbound Foreign Direct Investment of Chinese companies. Prof Dr Wolfgang Arlt, author of our column and our editorial expert for China, has his own opinion on this topic after more than 30 years of experience with Chinese business partners: Despite the investment stop, China's multi-billion investors will not be stopped.

Beijing. Irrational outbound investment in hotels, real estate, entertainment, and sports clubs are over for aggressive Chinese dealmakers whose acquisition strategy is now restricted by local authorities' new investment policies. HNA, Anbang, Fosun, etc. are now limited in their moves which raises concerns abroad regarding their due payments and further ongoing acquisitions. Will HNA be able to actually buy Rezidor's remaining shares as it is compelled to? Nothing is sure at this point. The company needs to make decisions and "big brother" is watching.
