China's manufacturing enterprises have continuously expanded their cross-border investment scale in recent years, and geopolitical risks have become a key factor restricting the stable growth of their overseas investment performance. This study systematically sorts out the practical foundation of China's manufacturing cross-border investment and the current development characteristics of geopolitical risks. It analyzes three core problems exposed in the process of geopolitical risks affecting investment performance, including the deficiencies in enterprise-level risk identification and control systems, the limitations of industry-level coordinated response mechanisms, and the docking gap between national policy guarantees and international cooperation. It proposes a multi-level response mechanism construction plan covering micro, meso and macro dimensions to help enterprises improve risk resistance capabilities and enhance cross-border investment performance.
