    China's overseas direct investment has grown significantly in recent years, more than doubling in 2012 to $115 billion, making China the third largest global investor. However, China still only accounts for 6.7% of global overseas direct investment despite representing 11.6% of global economic output. Many Chinese companies plan overseas investments primarily to access new markets rather than for natural resources. While there are opportunities for Chinese companies investing abroad, there are also risks, as some projects have been abandoned at costs of billions of dollars to countries like Venezuela. Overall, Chinese overseas investment is growing but remains relatively risk averse.
