Foreign portfolio investment consists of securities and other capital inflows of assets possibly held by other foreign countries. Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) provides the investor with indirect ownership of financial assets. This study intends to investigate the economic factors which attract the investors to invest in the host country. We observed what the impact of FPI determinants on the Chinese economy. To elaborate our results we used multiple regression models by using E-views. This study investigates the effects of FPI and its determinants of the economic structure of China. The data of FPI, GDP, FDI, EXD and P has been taken from the World Bank. GDP and External Debt are the strong determinants of the FPI, the Exchange Rate, Population shows that these variables have a significant impact on the FPI. The investors speculate the high returns, more secure investors’ rights and feel safer to invest in the country.

There is a consensus among the empirics regarding the positive role of renewable energy in mitigating the effects of climate change. Hence, it is vital to search for the factors that can promote renewable energy demand. As a result, this analysis investigates the impact of educational attainment, environmental law, and innovation on renewable energy consumption (REC) in China. From empirical estimates, we confer that the long-run estimates attached to the environment-related taxes and environmental policy stringency are positive and significant, implying that both these factors increase the REC in China in the long run. Similarly, the estimated coefficients of environment-related technologies and patent applications are significantly positive, confirming that environmental and other technologies give rise to REC in the long run. Likewise, the long-run estimates of education are significantly positive in both models, which confer that REC increases along with an increase in average years of schooling. Lastly, the estimates of CO₂ emissions are significantly positive in the long run. These results imply that policymakers should invest in research and development activities that are crucial for promoting eco-innovation and renewable energy demand. In addition, strict environmental laws should be introduced to induce firms and businesses to invest in clean energy.
