<abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article analyzes transformation of China's investment strategy in the North American region after the Agreement signed in November 2018 between the United States, Mexico and Canada, which replaced the NAFTA Agreement in force since 1994. The relevance of the study is due to the increased protectionist orientation of the new Agreement, which indirectly restricts the investment activity of third countries, including China. The article aims to determine the impact of the new agreement on the sectoral and geographical distribution of Chinese direct investment in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Special attention is paid to changing the behavior of Chinese companies in the new geo-economic conditions. As a result, the main directions of transformation of China's investment strategy have been identified.
They are: the transition from direct acquisitions to partnership models and indirect financing, the strengthening of Mexico's role as a production and transit platform, and a shift in focus towards green energy and consumer goods. It is concluded that the USMCA did not lead to the blocking of Chinese investments in the region, but rather contributed to their adaptation to the new economic architecture.</p>

<trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Статья посвящена комплексному анализу трансформации инвестиционной стратегии Китая в регионе Северной Америки после подписанного в ноябре 2018 г. Соглашения между США, Мексикой и Канадой, заменившее действовавшее с 1994 г. Соглашение НАФТА. Актуальность исследования обусловлена усилением протекционистской направленности нового Соглашения, косвенно ограничивающего инвестиционную активность третьих стран, в том числе Китая. Целью исследования является определение влияния нового соглашения на отраслевое и географическое распределение китайских прямых инвестиций в США, Канаде и Мексике. Особое внимание уделяется изменению модели поведения китайских компаний в новых геоэкономических условиях. В результате определены основные направления трансформации инвестиционной стратегии Китая: переход от прямых поглощений к партнерским моделям и косвенному финансированию, усиление роли Мексики как производственной и транзитной платформы, а также смещение фокуса в сторону в сторону зеленой энергетики и потребительских товаров. Сделан вывод о том, что ЮСМКА не привело к блокировке китайских инвестиций в регионе, а способствовало их адаптации к новой экономической архитектуре.</p>
