Investment into Australia by Chinese private and state-owned companies tumbled in 2023 to the second-lowest level in 18 years, according to a report from KPMG and the University of Sydney.
The analysis estimated that direct investment slid 37% to $892 million from the previous year. In contrast, China’s global outbound investment jumped in 2023, driven by projects in countries participating in President Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road Initiative.
