To be sure, the US remains the world’s leading destination for FDI, accounting for 15% of global flows. But its share is declining, while China, using both carrots (like tax holidays and special enterprise zones) and sticks (like explicit and implicit local-content requirements) to attract foreign companies, has become the second-largest destination.
实事求是地说，美国仍是世界最大的FDI目标国，占全球FDI流量的15%。但美国所占份额正在下降，而中国通过胡萝卜（如免税期和特别企业区）加大棒（如直接或间接的本地条件要求）吸引了大量外国公司，已成为FDI的第二大目标国。
