Abstract:Large amounts of Chinese capital, facilitated by China’s governmental‘go global’strategy and huge amount of foreign reserve, is flowing into Australian market, which attracts foreign investment in all fields. Some of Chinese enterprises’M&A attempts in Australia are completed, but others failed. The factors that influence the outcomes of Chinese enterprises’M&A attempts in Australia include senstiveness of target investment sectors, politics, state ownership of Chinese firms and the institntional differences between China and Australia. Chinese firms need increase mutual trust and observe Australian law in their investment attewpts in Australia.
