Abstract

In recent years, the phenomenon of manufacturing flowing back to developed economies has become increasingly prominent, and this trend has had a profound impact on the global industrial landscape and investment flows. This article conducts an in-depth analysis of the driving forces behind the return of manufacturing industries in developed economies, covering various factors such as economy, politics, and society. Meanwhile, the characteristics of the reconstruction of investment flow under the background of manufacturing return were explored, as well as the impact of this reconstruction on developed economies themselves, emerging economies and the global economy. Finally, strategic suggestions for emerging economies such as China to deal with the reconstruction of investment flows were put forward.
