原文
China overtook the U.S. as the world's top destination for new foreign direct investment last year.
New investments by overseas businesses into the U.S., which for decades held the No. 1 spot, fell 49% in 2020，as the country struggled to curb the spread of the new coronavirus and economic output slumped.
China, long ranked No. 2, saw direct investments by foreign companies climb 4%.
The 2020 investment numbers underline China's move toward the center of a global economy long dominated by the U.S.
