Abstract:  
           
          The Chinese government has shown an active attitude in 
          encouraging and supporting the participation of private 
          investors in the provision of public infrastructure and 
          services. There is a huge investment opportunity for Public 
          Private Partnership (PPP) in China. However, China has 
          immature regulatory and institutional PPP frameworks. This 
          paper hence aims to review the application of PPP in China 
          and consequently draw lessons for future references. It was 
          found that China has a wealth of experience with PPP under 
          the strong support of central and subnational governments. 
          Given the tremendous economic growth and immense demand 
          for infrastructure, China will continue to have a massive 
          demand for future PPP projects. This paper is important as its 
          contribution is to summarize the application of PPP in China in 
          terms of opportunities, current usage and future trends.
