The purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants of foreign direct investment from different foreign countries in China after they started to invest tremendous amount toward China. This study adopts fixed-effect model with 24 countries' (regions') data during the period of 1993-2003. The primary finding of this study is that relative GDP, relative GDP per capita, and relative wage play significant roles in attracting foreign direct investment in China during 1993-1996. However, during 1997-2003, the important factors have changed to relative GDP, relative borrowing cost, and relative country risk. In addition, from the analysis of the national-specific effects, it is found that the geographical distance has a negative impact on the autonomous foreign direct investment from foreign countries toward China.
