China seeks viable, solid investment options in Europe

BEIJING / LONDON - China will most likely aim for viable and solid investments in Europe as a way to help the debt-ridden continent, analysts in Europe and China said.

But they said these would occur not because of China's large foreign exchange reserves, nor due to some moral obligation. Rather, they will be purely business decisions.

"The most likely scenario is that China, just like any investor - a private, corporate or national one - will aim for viable, solid investments," Peter Ho, chair professor of Chinese Economy and Development and co-director of the Modern East Asia Research Center in the Netherlands, told China Daily.
