British investment in China is set to quadruple over the next five years, far outstripping the doubling of foreign direct investment in the fast-growing economy over the same period, a new report has found. Foreign direct investment from the UK to China totalled nearly £6.7bn in asset stocks last year, the study by King & Wood Mallesons calculated. But the global law firm expects this to rise to £26bn by 2020 as the Chinese economy opens up to foreign capital.
