Mergers and Acquisitions in China:

Current Trends and Challenges in the Middle Kingdom


By James C. Chapman, Partner, Foley & Lardner, Linlin Li, Attorney


2010 was a very strong year for mergers and acquisitions in the Middle Kingdom.Statistics provided by Thomson Reuters show that over 3000 M&A transactions involving Chinese enterprises with a combined US$131.1 billion were reported in 2010. Among these deals, cross border transactions amounted to US$80.7 billion, a 21.2% increase compared with US$63.6 billion recorded in 2009. In terms of the number of M&A deals, the materials sector saw the most activity M&A transactions accounting for 24% of the total; followed by the energy and power sector with making up 20%. The financial sector came in third place with 17% of all the deals. These deals were driven by a number of factors including the reorganization of State-owned enterprises, acceleration of the pace of Chinese government's "zou chu guo men or "going out policy", and desire of foreign companies to enter into new markets by seeking acquisitions in China.

Why I Joined ACG Silicon Valley
The Silicon Valley chapter of ACG offers executives an excellent avenue to expand their knowledge and their contacts. I recently attended an ACG session on "Doing Business in China" that was extremely valuable. Although I have conducted business in China for many years, the insight I gained from this particular session was beyond my expectations. It was a working session where executives from a cross section of industries shared best practice ideas and exchanged thoughts on the rapidly changing political, social and environmental landscape in China. ACG events are well organized, attract first-rate speakers and provide an excellent forum for the exchange of ideas.
