Flush with money from serving as the “factory of the world” and the real estate boom in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou, many Chinese businessmen and entrepreneurs are ready, willing and capable of investing in overseas projects. And many have done so – in multi-million dollar projects ranging from biotechnology, medical devices, and food production to energy, mining and real estate. The appetite for investment overseas is further fueled and incentivized by the prospect of receiving a foreign residency card (“green card”) as a qualified investor which affords greater travel flexibility and grants the eligible investor a sought after status symbol of success and internationalism.
