After reaching a record $60 billion in 2016, two-way US-China foreign direct investment (FDI) flows have been squeezed into a diminished position from both sides of the Pacific. In 2017 the value of completed Chinese FDI transactions dropped by over a third as Beijing re-imposed capital controls and Washington toughened screening of high-technology acquisitions. The value of newly announced transactions dropped by more than 90%. The 2018 outlook is more uncertain still. President Trump has designated China a strategic competitor, a label not applied since 2000, and Washington is contemplating a disruptive array of more restrictive China policies to respond to perceived unfairness, including greatly stepped up investment screening.

On April 10, Rhodium Group and the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations will host an event in Washington D.C. to release two studies that will shape the public debate on these urgent topics: Two-Way Street, the definitive analysis of US-China FDI trends from 1990 through 2017; and New Neighbors, the seminal analysis of local impacts from Chinese FDI across every US congressional district. This event is part of the U.S.-China FDI Project, and is the most important presentation of research on US-China FDI of 2018.
