Abstract

Economic development is a topic so vast that it can be approached from many perspectives. Article aims to highlight the role that FDI play in China's economy by stimulating exports, resulting in gaining important positions in terms of Global Competitiveness Index. Capacity for innovation, also stimulated by FDI, contribute significantly to improving the place given by GCI. Approaching only these two issues, exports and innovation, can be easily seen that FDI improves the competitiveness position.
