"The financial advisor's go-to reference-updated to address important legal and economic changes since the 2008 financial crisis"

"SWF dalam rezim keuangan internasional bukanlah sebuah fenomena yang baru. Sejak pertama kali muncul pada tahun 1953, SWF terus berkembang dengan memunculkan pemain-pemain baru yang melihat SWF sebagai alternatif ekonomi yang menjanjikan di masa depan. Salah satu pemain baru dalam SWF ialah China Investment Corporation (CIC) yang lahir di tahun 2007. Kelahiran CIC sebagai sebuah SWF menempatkan China dalam daftar SWF terbesar dengan ?bobot lahir‟ sebesar 200 milyar dolar AS. Kelahiran CIC sekaligus merupakan manifestasi keberhasilan China dalam melakukan akumulasi modal yang berasal dari surplus perdagangan dan neraca pembayaran yang positif. Paradoks dengan hal ini, AS justru tengah mengalami kemunduran ekonomi yang menyebabkan rentananya sektor finansial AS yang dilihat dari tiga indikator yakni defisit perdagangan, defisit anggaran, dan neraca pembayaran yang negatif. Di tengah kerentanan sektor finansial AS, China kemudian memanfaatkan peluang untuk masuk ke dalam sektor finansial AS salah satunya melalui CIC. Dalam perkembangannya CIC tidak lagi hanya berfokus kepada sektor-sektor finansial namun juga berinvestasi dalam sektor strategis seperti energi, telekomunikasi, dan transportasi. Distorsi komitmen awal CIC kemudian dipertanyakan seiring dengan objektivitas investasinya yang turut berubah karena mengundang motif nonekonomi dalam tujuan-tujuan ekonomi yang ingin dicapai.

SWF in international financial regime is not a new phenomenon. Since the first SWF emerged in 1953, the growth of SWF increases with new players popped out in discerning SWF as an economy alternative for future purpose. One of new players in SWF is China Investment Corporation (CIC) that was born in 2007. The birth of CIC placed CIC as one of the largest SWF that has ?a birth weight‟ 200 billion US Dollar. In line with that, the birth of CIC also manifests the success of China in accumulating the capital from trade surplus and positive balance of payment. In contrast with this condition, the economy of US tends to decline and make the US financial system vulnerable measured from three indicators: trade deficit, budget deficit, and the negative balance of payment. In the middle of the vulnerability of US financial system, China benefitted these opportunities to enter US financial system through CIC. The development of CIC in US financial system is no longer focus on financial sector but also invested in strategic sector for instance energy, telecommunication, and transportation. The distortion of CIC‟s commitment ultimately makes the objectivity of CIC questionable because it invites the non-economy motives behind the economy purpose."
