China’s most dynamic global city-regions under globalization

Abstract

自从中国2001年底加入世贸组织以来，跨国公司加大了对华投资的种类和规模。据资料显示，我国外商直接投资2002，2003，2004 年连续三年创历史新高，2004年更首次突破600亿美元，超越美国，位列全球第一。全球化的观念和理念已经深入到中国的角角落落，谁如果忽视了这个力量，谁就会在国际竞争中处于被动地位。对企业而言如此，对地区发展而言更是如此。本文以学术视角总结外商直接投资路径与地区增长模式，并在此框架下点评全球化下的中国热点城市区域，预测中国区域经济下一轮走向。

Since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, foreign direct investment (FDI) in China had been consecutively broken record in 2002, 2003, and 2004. In 2004, China’s FDI had reached US$60 billion for the first time, surpassing that of the US and becoming World No. 1. The concepts and forces of globalization have substantially influenced China’s development. Based on the studies on the “Investment Path of FDI” and the mode of regional growth, this paper predicts the growth tendency of China’s most dynamic global city-regions in the 11th Five-year Plan period and in the next ten to twenty years.
