Abstract: Available data on the flows and stocks of Chinese FDI in Indonesia suggest that they have increased significantly since 2004. But further analysis indicates that these data offer an incomplete impression of the activities of Chinese firms in Indonesia. The presentation substantiates this by analysing quantitative data, as well as cases. It discusses four specific characteristics of Chinese investment in Indonesia: (a) activities of Chinese companies in Indonesia are only partially reflected in the available investment data; (b) Chinese investment is concentrated in construction and management, rather than manufacturing industry, unlike investment from firms from other countries; (c) Chinese firms received concessions in terms of expatriate employment and preferred suppliers that limit the backward linkages of their investment; (d) several investment projects were based on over-optimistic assessments of their commercial viability, which will soon require reflection on the strategic objectives of Chinese  investors.
