Since the proposal of the Belt and Road Initiative, China has consistently adhered to the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits. It has actively promoted projects aimed at improving people's livelihoods and garnering public support. These efforts have provided significant support and impetus for global economy development. From the perspective of Chinese multinational enterprises (MNEs), analyzing the reasons for corruption in developing countries along the Belt and Road and examining the adverse impact of corruption on MNEs’ investments. Furthermore, it seeks to review and study the corruption problems and risks that Chinese MNEs should be mindful of during outbound direct investment. Based on these findings, suggestions will be put forward regarding the adoption of a risk early warning and response mechanism by Chinese MNEs when investing abroad, as well as measures to enhance the internal anti-corruption mechanisms of MNEs. The objective is to provide recommendations for optimizing the internal and external investment environment for Chinese MNEs.
