https://doi.org/10.33293/1609-1442-2022-3(98)-65-72
Abstract
The article describes the barriers to the investment activity of Chinese companies in the energy sector of the Russian Federation, as well as the prospects for further cooperation based on the results of an empirical study conducted by the author of the article. Research method: qualitative content analysis. The study observed the activities of 36 Chinese companies carrying out their investment and entrepreneurial activities in Russia. As a result of the study, it turned out that the main barriers to investment are the low efficiency of the work of the administrative bodies of the Russian Federation, the imperfection of Russian legislation, the monopoly in the energy industry and the low level of political trust between peoples / the states. However, despite the existing barriers, Chinese companies expressed the desire to further cooperation and suggested areas for improving the investment climate in the Russian Federation.
