The main aim of this paper is to contribute to the discussion on the relationships between foreign direct investment (FDI) and regional development in China. More specifically, it identifies the fundamentally different modes of development between the Mao and the post-Mao era, and explores the role of inward FDI in order to understand the regional fragmentation of the contemporary Chinese economy. The paper is divided into three sections. First, it illuminates the transformation of regional economies in China towards FDI and the geography of regional inequality in contemporary China. Then, it explores the limits of Maos strategies for regional development, which led to the introduction of FDI. The final section highlights the way in which the concentration of FDI in new industrial spaces has led to regional fragmentation in the post-Mao era by analysing the extent to which FDI has influenced industrial production, international trade and employment.
