Europe reaps the benefits of investment

Money talks as EU establishes commanding lead over the US

Chinese investment has been rising rapidly in both the United States and the European Union, but the EU has attracted almost twice as much investment as the US in recent years, according to a report from an organization that monitors global financial trends on Monday.

This was due in part to the eurozone's thirst for investment and a difference in security concerns between the US and the EU, analysts said.
