Abstract

Shanghai’s economy enter a new stage at present, so foreign direct investment will adjust accordingly. The paper analyzes the non-reasonability of foreign direct investment in Shanghai in this time: Firstly, the declining proportion of manufacture FDI hampers the achievement of Shanghai’s goal of becoming a global innovation center. Secondly, investment industry segmentation and investment orientation shall be guided more reasonably. Thirdly, foreign capital origins to Shanghai are excessively concentrated. Investment source shall be optimized. Fourthly, the content of inward capital is badly in need of change. Fifthly, there is a mismatch between demand and supply of inward foreign capital. Sixthly, great efforts should still be made to achieve the goal of improving the technical ability with foreign capital. Seventhly, foreign- enterprises are being squeezed out due to high survival cost. In short, Shanghai needs to change the form and content of foreign investment.
