So far, most big overseas building projects undertaken by Chinese companies have been in developing regions, where political and economic risk are highest.

For Zhenhua, California's chronic budget troubles were not an issue, said Zhou. After all, China is the biggest holder of U.S. Treasury bonds. "We never questioned that we would get our money," he said. "We trust the Americans, the people and their government."

"We look at it this way. The Statue of Liberty is an excellent symbol for America. We are hoping the new San Francisco Bay Bridge, after it is built, will also become a symbolic project. We expect it to have a great impact on our future development."


so true , no worries about getting paid . <bg

It really is a massive project (6Bil) just saw it other day, big win win ...just be on time:

"The new bridge will reflect the character of those who built it," said Tony Anziano, manager of the toll bridge program at the California Department of Transportation. "The work is done. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."

The first shipment of segments of the bridge's deck was delayed by a few weeks two years ago due to welding problems. But those were resolved and the bridge is due to open as planned in 2013. Any delays in the final schedule would cost Zhenhua $350,000 a day, Zhou said.

China’s FDI needs fair treatment in the US

Translated from People’s Daily


The United States is welcoming Foreign Direct Investment to create more jobs and increase its economic competitiveness.

Yet China’s FDI to the US, the largest target of global FDI, is currently only $6 billion (bilateral trade volume reached $ 446.7 billion in 2011). The problem is that the US government creates obstacles for Chinese investors in various fields. The treatment of Chinese investors compared to European investors, the largest FDI source for US, is totally different.

Researchers predict that China’s FDI to the outside world will reach more than $1 trillion by 2020. The US should benefit from more of China’s FDI, if it creates a fair environment.

Since the US badly needs FDI to stimulate its economy, it does not make sense for US politicians to make trouble for their largest potential foreign investor.

The increasingly closer Sino-US ties in trade indicate that opening up to Chinese FDI is a win-win strategy for both sides, and the shortsighted US politicians are actually making themselves feel uncomfortable by refusing investment from China
