Foreign Investors Withdraw Record $15 Billion from China
Rising geopolitical tensions and economic concerns drive unprecedented capital outflow, marking a significant shift in global investment patterns.
- China experiences the largest quarterly foreign investment outflow since records began, with $15 billion withdrawn.
- Geopolitical tensions, particularly with the US, and new espionage laws are major factors deterring investors.
- China's economic slowdown and low consumer demand further exacerbate foreign investor pessimism.
- Beijing's efforts to attract foreign investment are faltering amid rising global interest rates and a weakening renminbi.
- Domestic Chinese companies are also increasing their overseas investments, contributing to the net capital outflow.
