Abstract: Since 2000s China's outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) in developed economies has grown rapidly, boosting the technological advancement of Chinese companies and the advancement of global value chains. In the context of the United States continuing to impose investment restrictions on China, the EU has an important position in the OFDI pattern in China. Although China's OFDI in the EU has maintained rapid growth overall, the location distribution is not balanced. This paper uses spatial measurement method to test China's spatial pattern change of OFDI in EU member states and finds that there are spatial agglomeration effects and spatial spillover effects. The spatial panel analysis method is used to test the factors affecting the spatial distribution China's OFDI in EU. It is found that the market size, technology level and investment freedom of the host country have positive effects on the location selection of China's OFDI in EU.
