Abstract

Since the implementation of the “Belt and Road” strategy, China’s investors have been investing more and more in the countries along the “Belt and Road”, and most of the foreign investment is in ecologically sensitive industries, so the risk caused by environmental problems exists in the whole process of foreign investment. In order to reduce the risk of foreign investment by Chinese investors, we must pay attention to the environmental problems in the countries along the “Belt and Road”. This requires China to pay special attention to environmental protection when signing free trade agreements and bilateral investment agreements with countries along the “Belt and Road”, and to add environmental protection clauses in the treaties to prevent the host country from abusing the “general exception” clause. The research idea of this paper is to analyze the background of China’s investors’ investment in the countries along the “Belt and Road”, the types and causes of environmental risks faced by China’s investors, and analyze the existing provisions and deficiencies of China’s outward investment in environmental protection, so as to put forward the countermeasures to solve the problem of China’s outward investment in environmental protection.
