Foreign investment boosts China's industrial productivity, benefiting diverse industries.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) has a positive impact on China's industrial productivity. FDI directly and indirectly boosts productivity levels and growth in industries. Labor-intensive industries benefit more from FDI's direct effects, while capital-intensive industries gain more from FDI's spillover effects. The interaction between FDI and China's human capital enhances the contribution of FDI to productivity.
