Foreign Media: China's outward direct investment surged to a 7-year high of $124 billion in 2025, an 18% increase year-on-year, reaching the highest level since 2018. Among them, the completed transaction volume increased by 14%, reaching $73 billion, showing a stable recovery from the pandemic low.
However, the "outflow" trend of China's overseas investment is still far from its massive export machine, with China recording a record $1.2 trillion in commodity trade surplus in 2025.
The report pointed out that new investments by Chinese companies in overseas manufacturing facilities declined in all regions except North Africa, especially in Central and Eastern Europe.
