Chinese banks invest a lot in their country, but are doing this on an increasingly larger scale, like in foreign countries, and in developing ones in particular. The way in which this is happening is therefore not only important for the Chinese themselves, but also for people in developing countries. For civil society organisations and international banks which focus on sustainability and poverty reduction and are involved in corporate social responsibility, the Chinese banks' way of doing business is for them, too, an important matter. The rules for Chinese banks, and international rules for banking, influence one another. This publication aims to shed a light on the way this happens, and on the consequences of these rules and influences.
