FDI also promote Chinese hi-tech industry clusters coming into being and developing further. FDI is closely linked with ups and downs of hi-tech industrial cluster. However, allocation of FDI in the hi-tech industrial cluster is unbalance, and it shows obvious geography conglomeration. Seen from the region, FDI mainly flowed to east area of china. In 2005, FDI that the hi-tech industrial cluster in west area had been attracted was only 8.95% of the total.
