'Israeli officials have said China will soon replace Europe as the second-leading source for investment in Israel’s high-tech sector, and could even replace the U.S. in the number one spot.'
..
In 2011, China gained a controlling interest in a major firm in Israel’s agrochemical sector on the back of $2.4 billion in investments by China National Chemical Corporation. Beijing has also gained access to Israeli nanotechnology via a joint venture between Tel Aviv and Tsinghua universities to operate a shared research center...'

China Finds New Investment Opportunities in Germany
German Financial Stability, Tech Expertise Lure Investment
27, March, 2017
....... Chinese investment in Germany started as a trickle, with four deals totaling $150 million in 2007. But the volume jumped to 20 deals totaling $1.5 billion in 2013. Germany accounted for 38% of all Chinese investments in Europe in 2012, far exceeding the U.K. (22%) and France (5%), according to Ernst & Young.
In the past, Chinese outbound investments focused on resources. This explains why South Africa and Russia have gotten more investment from China than Germany over the years. But now China is *hungry for technology to help it clean up the environment* and compete in high-end manufacturing. This is an area where Germany has expertise.
