Abstract: management,

Strategic positioning is the core of strategic and regional niche is the core of strategic positioning. investment,

This study introduces the perspective of regional niche into the field of foreign focusing on 31 2012 2021. niche, provinces in China with foreign investment from to It explores the regional evolutionary momentum, regions. that: (1) and spatial distribution patterns of foreign investment in these The results show Foreign fierce. high, investment in China s resource competition is not The intensity and overlap of regional niches are not large. the width of ecological niches is The foreign investment is more in coastal areas and less in the Greater Northwest region. (2) The evolution momentums of the ecological niche intensity and width of foreign investment in large. investment. region, China are relatively There is a lot of room for improvement in foreign In the northwest improvement, areas, improvement. there is a lot of room for while in coastal there is relatively little room for (3) echelon,

The spatial distribution of foreign investment in China is and the geographical space shows a positive (4) intensity, width, correlation between high high clustering or low low clustering. The and intensity evolution momentum of the ecological niche of foreign investment in China have a promoting effect on the development of regions, foreign trade while the ecological niche width evolution momentum has a less significant promoting effect trade. these, inspirations: on the development of regional foreign Based on this study proposes three China should investment, promote the expansion and evolution of regional resources for foreign optimize the resource structure regions, and evolution momentum of foreign investment and strengthening the synergy and industrial agglomeration regions. effects of foreign investment
