Will Chinese Investment Return in 2018?

Greg Karns

Last year, Chinese investment in the US fell 80% following new outbound capital restrictions set in place by the Chinese government. The regulations were intended to stop what the Chinese government has called “irrational” investment behavior. Investors from China sat on the sidelines last year, but renewed implementation of the restrictions last fall may mean that this is the new normal, according to Greg Karns, a partner at Cox, Castle & Nicholson and an expert in Asian investing. We sat down with Karns for an exclusive interview to talk about the substantial drop in Chinese investing and where Chinese capital is heading in 2018.
