Once upon a time, global foreign direct investment flowed from only a few sources: the traditionally wealthy states of Europe, North America, and Japan. But cross-border investment from countries such as Brazil, India, and China is now flowing not just to other emerging and transitional economies, but also to the “old” FDI-exporting states.
曾几何时，全球外国直接投资（FDI）来源国十分有限：欧洲的传统富国、北美和日本。但如今，来自巴西、印度和中国的跨境投资不但流向其他新兴和转型经济体，也流向“老”FDI出口国。
