However, at the same time, the impact of foreign direct investment on China's economic development environment has attracted more and more attention. The "pollution paradise" hypothesis points out that foreign direct investment has a serious impact on the natural environment of the host country, while the "pollution halo" hypothesis points out that foreign direct investment has also produced a certain improvement effect on the natural environment of the host country.
