There exists a typical spatial dualism in China's regional economic development since 1978. It has been considered that spatial dualism is closely linked with an unbalanced distribution of foreign direct investment (FDI) in an open economy. This paper examined effects of FDI on regional economic growth in China employing time-pooling and cross-section data between 1985 and 1999. It found that FDI's inflows lead approximately to ninety percent of the gap in GDP growth rate between eastern developed regions and western undeveloped regions in China.
