ABSTRACT

This article uses Python technology. Based on 2005-2020, China's direct investment data from 113 countries and data on China's public opinion use PPML. It is estimated to explore the impact of the host's public opinion on China's direct investment. The empirical results show that the attention of the host country's public opinion on China can significantly promote China's foreign direct investment, and the role of countries in non -"Belt and Road" countries and the signing of bilateral investment agreements is more obvious. In my country, we must play the role of traditional media and new media, change the way of breaking through discourse, and strengthen the connection with countries around the world through various channels, promote the communication of the people's hearts, and let the host truly feel the global governance concept of co-construction and sharing in China.
