Although political uncertainty exists between China and Taiwan, the two countries have been expanding their economic exchange since the 1980s. That economic exchange is not limited to trade, and its investment segment is constantly expanding. The investment was one-sided by Taiwan in the past, but since a change in policy by the Taiwan government in 2009, Chinese capital is able to flow into Taiwan for direct investment. These kinds of policy changes related to investment between the two countries require follow-up actions such as profit protection for investors, elimination of investment limitations, simplification of investment procedures, and establishment of an investment dispute resolution system. The main topic of this study is the resolution mechanism for investment disputes between China and Taiwan. At present, an individual investment dispute between two countries is settled according to each country's own regulations for dispute resolution. However, these two countries have not prepared dispute resolution regulations related to cases of investment disputes between Chinese or Taiwanese investors and the Chinese or Taiwanese government, or between the Chinese government and the Taiwanese government. Moreover, they do not have any agreements related to investment disputes. Therefore, in this paper, I enumerate the regulations related to investment dispute resolution between China and Taiwan, and then I point out the problems and suggest solutions for improvement. Also, through this study, I would like to contribute to establishing and implementing an investment dispute resolution mechanism between South Korea and North Korea.

As for Korea, China is very important because of an advantageous geological accessibility and high economic dependency. Therefore, the Korean government announced its plan to establish 5billion dollars' investment from Greater China (including Hong Kong and Singapore) and the government has put much effort into accommodating more Chinese investment by diversifying investment channels from Greater China. Under this major Chinese investment boom, it is crucial to conduct in-depth research on accommodation of Chinese investment and create a plan to establish Chinese capital investment that will benefit both the investing country and the countries receiving the investment. Hence, the present study analyzed current trends in Chinese investment for the Korean market, focusing on the stimulation methodology for establishing greater investment from China. To this end, this paper examined various investment characteristics of Chinese investors for the Korean market by researching investment development levels on different time lines and analyzing Chinese investment in Korea for a variety of industries. Through the research, the following study derived a more effective strategy to accommodate greater Chinese capital investment. There has been a worldwide increase in the number of letter of credit cases involving fraud recently. It may happen that the documents which are tendered to the banks under a documentary credit are forged, altered or fraudulent. Banks assume no liability or responsibility for the form, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or falsification of any documents.

Purpose - purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of the investment facilitation levels of 11 RCEP countries (excluding Myanmar, Brunei, and Laos due to lack of data) on China's outward foreign direct investments(OFDI) using balanced panel data from 2010 to 2019. Design/methodology - First, four investment facilitation measurement indicators (regulatory environment, infrastructure, financial market, ease of doing business) were selected,investment facilitation scores of the 11 countries were obtained using the principal component analysis, an investment gravity model was established with nine explanatory variables (investment facilitation level, market size, population, geographic distance, degree of opening, tax level, natural resources, whether the country is an APEC member or not, and whether a valid bilateral investment treaty with China has been concluded) were used to establish an investment gravity model, and regression analyses were conducted with OLS and system GMM. Findings - The results of the regression analyses showed that investment facilitation levels had the greatest effect on China's OFDI, all four first-level indicators had positive effects on China's OFDI, and among them, the institutional environment had the greatest effect. In addition, it was shown that explanatory variables such as market size, population, geographical distance, degree of openness, natural resources, and whether or not a valid bilateral investment treaty has been concluded would have positive effects on China's OFDI, while tax levels and APEC membership would impede China's OFDI to some extent. Originality/value - Since the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEPT) came into effect not long ago, there are not so many studies on the effects of investment facilitation levels of RCEP member states on China's OFDI, and the investment facilitation measurement index constructed in this paper is relatively systematic and scientific because it includes all the contents of investment facilitation related to the life cycle of company's foreign direct investments.

1980년대 중반 이후 해외직접투자에서 가장 주목할 만한 것 중의 하나는 신흥산업국의 출현이었다. 이들의 출현은 과거 선진국 중심의 선진국과 개도국의 남-북 관계에서 신흥산업국 중심의 선진국-신흥산업국-개도국으로 구성된 새로운 공간적 흐름관계를 형성시키고 있다. 특히, 1980년대 중반 이후 아시아 신흥산업국들이 동아시아 역내 직접투자를 활발히 전개함으로써 동아시아 역내 직접투자의 흐름 구조는 일본-신흥산업국-아세안과 중국으로 구분되는 명백한 계층적 구조를 지니게 되었다. 역내 직접투자 유입에서, 일본과 신흥산업국은 역외 선진산업국과 일본으로부터, 아세안은 아시아 신흥산업국과 일본으로부터, 중국은 아시아 신흥산업국으로부터 투자가 유입되고 있다. 역내 직접투자 유출에서, 일본은 신흥산업국과 아세안에 대해 상대적으로 높은 역내 투자를 보이는 반면 신흥산업국은 아세안과 중국에 대한 높은 투자를 보이고 있다. 또한 아세안 및 중국의 역내투자는 아직까지 미흡하지만 신흥산업국에 집중되고 있다. 즉, 동아시아 역내 직접투자 구조에서 신흥산업국의 중간적 역할과 성격이 점차 확대되고 있다.

Since the profess of the reformation and opening Policy in 1978, China has been outstandingly developed its economy and increased the real scale of its economy 4 times as big as before, and is expected to rise as a superpower holding in check U.S.A even in economy as well as politics, military affairs and diplomacy in the 21st century. In this position, China has constantly tried to join WTO since 1986, as an effort to gain a status in the international society. It hsa been making various economic reformations to provoke a crustal movement in its own economy such as tariffs lowering measurement for the almost whole items, remove of restriction of import items, lowering the refunding rate of over deposit tax and annihilation of the special treatments for the foreign investment. In short, recently Chinese government is cutting down the special treatments for the foreign capital enterprises and changing the policy to the direction of gradually reinforcing the control, so it requires that our enterprises trying to advance and invest in China have to consider these carefully. Investment in China of our enterprises become serious since 1990 is focused on such labor intensive industries as textiles, sewing and shoes which lost the competitive power due to the wage increase. Particularly, Pusan economy having played the role of locomotive for Korean economy in the past developing period has been weakened in the competitiveness and not yet activated in 1990s. In terms of this, the enterprises engaged in such typical industries of Pusan as shoes, textiles and sewing have borne much fruit from the investment in China with abundant and cheap labors. However, from a few years the enterprises in Pusan invested in China due to the cheap labors and rich resources and invested in China have suffered much troubles and failures more and more resulted from the advancement without sufficient previous knowledge and information related to the investment including investment environment. Therefore, at the time of advancement in China, Korean enterprises should make their decision related to the investment, after taking these investment environment into account previously to a full extent and making an investment strategy.

본 논문은 한중 양국의 FDI 관련 현황과 정책적 강약점을 파악하고 이를 통해 중국자본 유치전략에서 요구되는 기본적 전제조건을 검토함으로써 향후 중국자본 유치에 도움이 되는 정책방향을 모색하는 데에 연구목적을 둔다. 연구결과 도출된 주요 전제조건들을 제시하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 한중간 경제관계는 상호보완적이고도 협력적인 수준에 크게 미흡한 상태이므로 무조건적 경쟁관계로 발전할 수 있는 위협요인들을 미리 제거하고, 양국간 신뢰관계를 확대해 나가야 한다. 둘째, 적어도 중국의 입장에서 보면 한국은 매력적인 투자처가 되지 못하고 있다. 최근 발효된 한미FTA 등 한국의 FTA 확대 기회를 적극 활용할 필요가 있다. 셋째, 한국을 대신하는 중국의 대체투자처는 항상 존재하고 있으므로, 투자종목이나 투자규모, 투자방식 등 중국자본 유치에 관련된 투자 협상력은 상당 부분 중국측이 가지고 있다는 사실을 간과하지 말아야 할 것이다. 넷째, 한국의 FDI 정책이 기존의 정책적 프레임 속에 갇혀 규칙 파괴자(rule breaker)의 기능을 발휘하지 못한다면 중국자본 유치는 노력에 비해 성과를 기대하기 어려울 것이다. 다섯째, 중국을 과대평가하거나 중국자본의 힘을 맹신하는 상황에서 중국자본 유치 노력을 경주하다가는 외형적 투자 또는 부실투자로 이어져 예기하지 못한 국가적 손실을 초래할 수 있다는 점에 유의해야 한다.

Ever since the open and reform policy in 1987, China has adopted the socialistic market economy system and has been moving forward in economic reform. This gradually expanded their market economy. The open and reform policy achieved the highest average annual GDP growth rate of 9% and helped the country maintain high growth. China's economic growth in recent years has a lot to do with the international trading and direct investment by foreign corporations. China's entry into the WTO dramatically increased their amount of capital and investments due to their aggressive investments with foreign corporations. It is quite amazing that investments in China has been constantly increasing while the direct investments worldwide is decreasing. Moreover, increase in such investments is contributing to China's job creation, as well as, the expansion of international trading. When international economic exchange started between Japan and China in the 1970s, it was in the form of aid for developing countries, hence the collection of the investment was out of the question. It was in the 1990s that Japan started the full-scale investments with China and it was mostly centered in transfer of the production base. Japanese corporations aim was to mass produce goods less expensively using abundant and cheap labor and to sell them to Japan and other countries. The amount of Japan's exports and imports compared with China is increasing every year but the trade deficit has gone into the red. The dollar amount has been decreased from $ 27 billion in 2001 to $ 18 billion in 2003. The problems and damages in the system of justice and administrative confrontation that Japanese corporations are facing are continuously at a stand-still even after China's entry into the WTO. It has been 20 years since Japan's advance in China and during that period, the Japanese corporations brought many changes ranging from exports/imports to direct investment. Although Japan's new corporations tend to be located in the mid-western part of China, rather than the coastal areas, the region itself is not the cause for the confrontation. The problem stems from the Japanese treating the Chinese as if they were Japanese because they look similar due to their Asian ancestry. In reality the Chinese have completely different ways of doing business. Here we will take a look at the international trading and direct investment of Japanese corporations in China and study the conflicts that occurred in business transactions with China through real examples.
