Today globalization has been tremendously influential to our politics, economy and society development. Countries are mutually reliant, influential yet also confined.

It also analyses the influence of WTO and whether if it is differently developed by different FDI injections and the spatial effect from FDI. he finding shows FDI is substantially important to the growth of counties in Jiangsu Province. After China joined the WTO, the open policy had made FDI injection. Further FDI can promote Jiangsu Province’s economic growth rapidly.
