China Loses Record $15 Billion of Foreign Investment

Published 2024-08-12
Foreign investors pulled almost $15 billion in the April-June period from China, a record amount of foreign direct investment in the last last quarter in 2025. This marks only the second time this figure has turned negative, according to data from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange released Friday.
Bloomberg's James Mayger explains the likely pessimism about the world’s second-largest economy on "The Pulse with Francine Lacqua."

    3000$ billion + chinese foreign reserves is unbelievable amount of money
  • @richc3310
    Misleading headline as always ! It’s foreign businesses losing money in China that’s moving out of China!😂
  • @HSGG_
    Intel alone lost 30B overnight, this is nothing
  • @nunezinkgaming
    China has almost 1t in trade surplus, 15 b is almost nothing
  • @WeekiWacheeMax
    15 billion to China is similar to you deciding whether it's worth bending down to pick up a nickel or a penny in the street.
  • @isaackys
    What he is saying is that China is too strong, and squeezes out foreign firms.
  • Amazing video, you work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K into trading from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires
  • @drshoexu
    So.. basically he was saying the competition in China is too fierce and foreign firms are pulling out.
  • @vlhc4642
    That's 5 day of China's trade surplus across an entire quarter....
  • They've been replaced by local companies that what happened is not a bad thing for a country
  • @Kukura001
    This is mainly due to the fact that investors are no longer rich and willing to invest as a result of interest rate hikes in the US dollar and a series of monetary tightening policies.
  • @AlanSmith88888
    Only normal to pull money from struggling economy to strong economy. Its cyclical
  • @remix-yy1hs
    Hahaha its us companies loosing market in china
  • @Doggiedogedog
    15billion to Chinas economy is like losing a few grams of a penny from ur economy lol
  • @JCSY1
    Even if true, this amount won't cause any significant impact to China's economy. Some hiccups but nothing substantial compared to the US and western losses. 😂😂😂 China is the world's factory; they will gain back in a very short time.
  • Good for y'all, nonsense. What can a 15 billion dollars do to a 20 trillion economy? Nonsense. You should be discussing the economic collapse in the so called west.
