  1. Notes: The total number of observations is 216 because the value for the FDI variable of Tibet in 2009 is missing. Only factor loadings higher than 0.3 are displayed. For the sensitivity test, the data for the years between 2009 and 2013 were also factored, and the results were similar and therefore are not reported separately here
