How does foreign investment work?

[Dude1234]

Let' say I'm currently playing the U.S. and I want to build foreign factories in a city. The city's(or province) main resource is tea and is surrounded by silk-growing provinces. How do I correspond to the city's main resource and decide what factory to build?How much money should I invest?

Silk would be luxury clothes. As for how much that depends. There is a bonus to your gp influence growth for investing the most that is proportional to what others spend so more is generally better but,,,

In order to make Luxury Clothes I need Clothes as well as Silk. Out of whose storage will they take the supply of Clothes from? My storage or the storage of the country I'm investing in?

they own the factory so they would have to buy regular clothes from the market themselves
