Will China continue to “become global”?

Since the 1990s, China has become increasingly “global” and international: foreign investments in China and Chinese investments abroad have been very significant; many Chinese companies have become international, foreign trade between China and the rest of the world has played a very important role in explaining Chinese growth, and China has opened its financial markets to foreign investors. Could China’s “globalisation” now be called into question by: Tensions between China and OECD countries; Sluggish growth in domestic demand in China, due, inter alia , to population ageing? The latest developments show that there is no decline in direct investment (in both directions), in the weight of foreign trade or in capital flows, and therefore that there is no deglobalisation of China.
