Editor’s note: The value of China’s overseas investment and construction combined since 2005 exceeds $2.3 trillion. In the first half of 2023, investment finally began to rebound from Covid and zero-Covid while construction lagged for the moment. Transport eclipsed energy to become the biggest area of activity. The US, EU, and others continue to be hesitant concerning China’s acquisitions, bringing countries such as Indonesia and Saudi Arabia to the fore.
The China Global Investment Tracker is the only comprehensive public data set covering China’s global investment and construction, which are documented both separately and together. It includes over 4100 large transactions across metals, property, agriculture, technology, and other sectors (plus more than 350 troubled transactions). The full set, with the amount, Chinese parent company, host country, and sector, is available for public use with the proper citation. The tracker is published by the American Enterprise Institute.
