This paper will introduce linguistic distance as a key variable and select the top 20 countries in China's Outward Foreign Direct Investment stock from 2012 to 2021 as samples to build a fixed effect model to explore the relationship between linguistic distance and China's OFDI stock. The conclusion shows that linguistic distance has a significant negative relationship with China's OFDI stock. this paper also puts forward some targeted suggestions at the national level and the enterprise level.
