Second, The main of Japan's direct investment in china was manufacturing, this article will divide manufacturing into high-tech industries and traditional industries, further analysis the location factor of impact high-tech industries and traditional industries.Then,analyzing the various the characteristics of industry cluster in the region and summarizing the reasons of industry cluster in the region. Finally, according to above analysis, summarize findings, and propose a solution to each region to undertake direct investment in Japan.The dissertation mainly employs research methods such as the combination of theoretical analysis and empirical study, Qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis, Subjective analysis and objective analysis, Macro-and micro analysis,with attention concentrated on the following 6 aspects: First,Expounds the background of the thesis and the research topics of significance, reviews the research literature in the theory of Japan's direct investment position and the Industry Choice at home and abroad.

Reach the main conclusions and predictions for the futureFifth,By calculating the industry's geographic concentration index, the percentage of Industrial investment in the provinces and regions, location quotient, obtains the degree of concentration in the main provinces. By various industries concentration in the major provinces, Analysis the reason of the formation of Japanese firms industrial agglomeration, and finally reach a conclusion.Finally,Through the first few chapters summarize overall conclusion, and propose a solution. of China's eight economic zones, namely the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Beijing, Tianjin, A Large Northeast, Shandong Peninsula, Southwest and Central West region to undertake direct investment of Japan.
