China Loses Record $15 Billion of Foreign Investment

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."

Its worse here, our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.

China loses 15 billion dollar of foreign direct investment while in the same time China companies invest 76 billion dollar oversea.

[mariemotivation]

They've been replaced by local companies that what happened is not a bad thing for a country

[nunezinkgaming]

China has almost 1t in trade surplus, 15 b is almost nothing

[isaackys]

What he is saying is that China is too strong, and squeezes out foreign firms.

[HSGG_]

Intel alone lost 30B overnight, this is nothing

[BrandyHeng]

35 trillion debt not worrying
8 bil amount worrying
😅

[richc]

Misleading headline as always ! It’s foreign businesses losing money in China that’s moving out of China!😂

[drshoexu]

So.. basically he was saying the competition in China is too fierce and foreign firms are pulling out.

[randomworld]

3000$ billion + chinese foreign reserves is unbelievable amount of money

[wenoyang]

A trade war is mutually damaging and does not benefit either side much. The Americans started the trade war and the world economy has been declining

[AB__AB]

They're pulling out because Chinese companies are so good now that they can't compete anymore.

[NickyThomas-dixo]

What he is saying is that China is too strong and squeezes out foreign firms.. Regardless of how bad it gets the economy, I still make over $28K every single week. I truly value Lia Lorenzo and her helpful guides.

[TienyeeTien]

How much dollars have Europe lost since the beginning of the war? What’s the debt of US now?$15 billion is actually not a lot for a huge economic entity

[vlhc]

That's 5 day of China's trade surplus across an entire quarter....

[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.

[abelgeorge]

Invest in Índia, Vietnam, Mexico, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Philippines are best options....

[ep]

15 billion is 2 days of debt the u.s. federal government borrows. So its peanuts.

[CALUNERBILLY]

Replacing foreign supply with local companies, I honestly dont think its a bad idea.

[mxweng]

Market values for Magnificent 7 have lost over $1 trillion USD since mid-July, so $15 billion is nothing.
