诸多迹象显示中国经济实力呈持续增长态势,其中一个现象就是寻求在海外收购资产的中国公司数量急剧增长。2009年,当发达经济体仍然在全球金融危机的泥沼中举步维艰时,中国公司进行跨国收购的数量却创下了新的历史记录,总数约298宗。许多中国投资都深受资金短缺的西方企业欢迎,因为如果没有中国的投资,它们将面临严峻的生存危机。然而,中国的大肆收购却引发了诸多忧虑,尤其当有中国国有企业参与海外竞购时,这种担忧便愈发强烈。与此前的西方同行一样,中国企业逐渐意识到要顺利完成并购绝非易事,进行跨过并购尤为如此。

在《勇闯新天地:纵观中国的海外并购》(A brave new world: The climate for Chinese M&A abroad)报告中,我们试图了解这些计划进行海外资产收购的中国企业的担忧与期望,并试图为这些企业提供一个视角,让它们能够了解潜在并购对象和国外监管机构所存在的关切。
