Where Is China Investing In The U.S.?

In spite of the recent debt downgrade, financial woes and flailing economy, investors from China see the United States as a stable - and desired - place to put their money.

According to a recent report in the New York Times, investors from China are "snapping up luxury apartments" and are planning to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on commercial and residential projects like Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn. Chinese companies also have signed major leases at the Empire State Building and at 1 World Trade Center, the report said.

Besides the huge surge in real estate purchases, where else are the Chinese investing in the U.S.?


Treasuries
While the rest of the world was wringing its hands over global debt woes this summer, China dipped deep into its pockets and purchased $5.7 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds in June, increasing its holdings to $1,170 billion. That followed purchases of $7.3 billion in May and $7.6 billion in April, according to data from the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

Economic researchers at the Center for China in the World Economy at Tsinghua University said the purchase was an act of "choosing the best of a bad bunch," implying that China's options for investing such a large amount of money were limited, but still worth it. Analysts are predicting that China will continue to be a major player in the global debt markets, an investment that helps keep U.S. interest rates low and finances America's enormous debt.

Entrepreneurship
Chinese business owners are expanding their operations by opening plants and factories in the U.S. for a number of reasons. Purchase prices are cheaper - in some cases by more than half of what land and/or buildings would cost in China. Operation costs, such as electricity and other utilities, are also less expensive, making a move to America quite desirable for many private businessmen. One major difference is labor costs. The Federal minimum hourly wage in the United States is $7.25. Wages in China are regulated by local governments and are often quite low. In Beijing, the average monthly income is $177.

Chinese businessmen, however, are often willing to pay American workers more because they see eventual success in the larger picture of investment in the U.S.


Green Technology
American companies have reached out to global partners in industry for decades. One industry of substantial interest for the Chinese is green technology. Automobile companies are preparing for the wave of the near future in electric cars, as well as the recent push for increased energy-efficient manufacturing, including solar panels and lithium batteries. With the fierce debate raging over the future of China's "garbage technology" for hybrid and electric cars, Chinese investors are looking to put their money in a more stable green tech market beyond its borders.


Fuel
Texas led the rest of the states in dollar terms, and oil is the name of the game in the Lone Star State. After a thwarted effort several years ago to buy into a California-based energy company, state-owned Chinese energy giant, CNOOC bought a multibillion-dollar stake in Chesapeake Energy Assets last year. Chesapeake Energy Assets holds 600,000 acres of South Texas oil and gas fields. The move is expected to create 20,000 American jobs by 2012.

Construction
As the Chinese continue to expand their real estate holdings, construction companies are winning contracts for major projects in and around those sites. In 2010 alone, Chinese construction companies signed $1.04 billion worth of contracts with various U.S. business partners and completed $836 million worth of projects in multiple states.

One company, for example, has won contracts on major public works projects in the greater New York City area. China Construction America has won bids for projects including the Tappan Zee and Alexander Hamilton Bridges, the No. 7 subway line extension and the $91 million Metro-North Railroad station at Yankee Stadium.

The Bottom Line
China has been investing in countries around the world for years. Now it's got its sights set on the U.S., where some analysts say its investments could reach $2,000 billion by 2020. There remains an anti-China sentiment among Americans, who fear loss of jobs as well as a threat to our country's security.

中国赴美国投资分析

　　尽管美国最近遭受债务信用降级、金融困顿和经济失败的一系列打击，但是来自中国的投资者仍然将美国视为一个稳定的充满希望的投资场所。

　　根据《纽约时报》一份最近的报道，来自中国的投资者“正在疯抢豪华公寓”并计划向布鲁克林区的大西洋庭院之类的商业与住宅项目上投入数亿美元。报道称，中国公司还在帝国大厦和新世界贸易中心1号楼签署重大租赁协议。

　　那么，除了在房地产领域巨额投资之外，中国人还在投资美国的哪些领域呢？

　　美国国债

　　今年夏天，世界其它地方都在搓着双手为全球债务危机愁眉不展的时候，中国六月份又出手购买了57亿美元的美国财政部债券，使其持有的美国国债总额达到了11700亿美元。根据美国财政部的数据，中国在五月份和四月份还分别购买了73亿美元和76亿美元的国债。

　　设在清华大学的中国与世界经济研究中心（ CCWE）的研究人员认为，此举可以算作“矬子里拔将军”的行动，暗示中国大笔外汇可供选择的投资领域尽管还是有限，但仍值得去投资。分析人士预测，中国将继续在全球债务市场担当重要角色。中国的投资将有助于美国保持低利率政策并成为美国巨大债务的支持手段。

　　商业

　　中国的商人正在基于多种因素通过在美国设立工厂企业的方式扩大经营规模。采购价格很低---某些情形下，土地费用和（或）建筑物的成本比中国便宜一半还多。电和其它公用工程系统的运行费用也不是太贵，这对很多私人老板到美国拓展业务还是很有诱惑力的。唯一大的不同就是劳动力成本。在美国，联邦政府规定的最低小时工资标准是7.25美元。在中国，工资收入是由地方政府调控的而且通常很低。在北京，平均月收入是177美元。

　　然而，中国的商人经常愿意付给美国工人更高的报酬，因为他们看到了投资美国最终成功时的美妙前景。

　　绿色科技

　　美国公司在工业领域成为全球的领军人物已经有几十年的时间了。在中国人看来，其中一个存在可观收益的产业就是绿色科技。汽车公司正在准备在不久的将来迎接电动汽车的浪潮，以及最近正在推动的能源效率制造工艺，包括太阳能仪表盘和锂电池。伴随着对中国在混合动力和电动汽车上使用的“垃圾技术”的未来所进行的激烈的争论，中国投资者正在寻求把资金投入到一个超越其自然疆域的更稳定的绿色科技市场。

　　能源

　　按美元计价，德克萨斯州的经济领先于其它各州，在这个“孤星之州”，石油便是游戏的名称。几年前，为了买进一家设在加利福尼亚的能源公司几番努力却最终夭折，中国国有能源巨头中海油终于在去年从切萨皮克能源资产管理公司买进了数十亿美元的股份。切萨皮克能源资产管理公司持有南德克萨斯60万英亩的石油和天然气田。到2012年，此次交易预计将为美国创造2万个工作岗位。

　　建筑领域

　　随着中国继续扩大在美国房地产领域的投资，中国的建筑公司正在那些地点及其周边地区赢得为重大项目配套的合同。仅以2010年为例，中国的建筑公司与各种类型的美国商业伙伴签署了价值10.4亿美元的合同并在多个州建设完成了价值8.36亿美元的项目。

　　举个例子，有一家中国公司已经在大纽约城地区获得了一个重大的公用事业项目的建设合同。中国建筑美国分公司中标包括Tappan Zee 大桥和 Alexander Hamilton 大桥和7#地铁线在内的项目以及位于扬基棒球场附近价值9.1亿美元的Metro-North 火车站项目。

　　底线

　　中国在世界范围内的很多国家一直进行着投资。现在她将目光锁定在了美国。美国的一些分析师估计，到2020年中国对美国的投资将达到2万亿美元。在美国人当中，对中国的敌视态度依然存在，他们既害怕失去工作又担心我们国家的安全受到威胁。
