Comparison of Investment Fields between Japanese and Chinese Overseas Enterprises

Xiao Huang: DOORM, what were the characteristics of the investment fields of Japanese overseas enterprises back then? How do they differ from the current Chinese overseas enterprises?

DOORM: Xiao Huang, Japanese overseas enterprises back then had four distinct characteristics in their investment fields: 25% in manufacturing, 25% in finance and insurance, 25% in real estate, and 25% in other services. This distribution shows a balanced development across multiple sectors. In contrast, current Chinese overseas enterprises are likely to have a very high proportion of investments in manufacturing, mining, and distribution industries. This difference reflects the different economic development stages and strategic focuses of the two countries at different historical periods. China is currently in a critical phase of industrialization and globalization, thus investing more in foundational industries like manufacturing and mining to drive sustained economic growth and enhance international competitiveness.
