The China Global Investment Tracker is the only comprehensive public data set covering the country’s outbound investment and construction. It includes 4,900 large transactions across metals, property, agriculture, and other sectors, plus over 400 troubled transactions.
The value of China’s overseas investment and construction combined since 2005 has hit $2.6 trillion. Verifiable investment recovered from Covid and zero-Covid but has not gone back anywhere close to the peak in the mid-2010s.
