Abstract
This report analyzes China’s foreign direct investment (FDI) in Canada. It considers the strategic drivers of this interest. Canada needs FDI, but Canadian politics (and therefore policy) may not be receptive to such investments for the reasons explored in this report. The report concludes with the consideration of how Canadian foreign investment policy might facilitate greater investment flows from China and help to deepen the growing bilateral trade and investment relationship.
