It is known that the FDI is crucial for a country’s economic growth as it may stimulate the host country’s development and productivity.

Other than that, the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method is applied to investigate the relationship between the explanatory variables (trade openness, infrastructure, economic growth, inflation, exchange rate and market size) and the dependent variable (China FDI inflow). Lastly, the empirical results show that the exchange rate, inflation, infrastructure and the market size are significant in affecting the China FDI. It is found that the exchange rate, inflation and the infrastructure are having a positive relationship with the FDI in China. On the other hand, the market size is having a negative relationship with the FDI in China.
