Abstract

Foreign direct investment (FDI) in mainland China increased dramatically in the 1980s and early 1990s. However, a trend of increasing of the investment from overseas ethnic Chinese and declining of the relative importance of investment from western countries has been found, especially after the June 4 incident in 1989. This paper attempts to compare the nature and characteristics of FDI in China in different source countries, by using a survey of 106 foreign funded enterprises (FFEs) in China, and to shed lights on the conventional theories of the FDI.
