I really do not want to respond to this but your information is so wrong, and clearly off.
Foreign investment was already in a down trend from 2013, investment kept somewhat stable in the 2015-2019 periode. Until a little unknown virus hit the world, resulting in a total shutdown / disrupted market.
There was a peak in 2021 as of the resulting reopening of the Chinese market, you know, kind of hard to do business when your companies employees need to spend a month in a hotel in quarantine. So there was a strong recovery in those years, a known effect from the 2020 pandemic and the eventual recovery.
I do not even know where you get the peak in 2022 when it was 2021. 2022 was barely on the level of te 2015-2019 periode. In 2023 it ended up crashing to 1990's level of investment.
And has been a negative FDI for the past 3 years. That means more investment is being pulled out of the country, not in anymore.
So unless you want to dispute macroeconomic data, your information is highly off. I am not even going to touch the whole IP comment "massively overblown" as there are plenty of reports on how it absolute not overblown.
No offense but your comments read like a propagandist. I let the readers make up their minds, as my information can be easily google on.

You're just wrong about this, as you can see by looking at a chart of FDI into China: [0]. The story from 2013 to now is not "downward trend." 2013 was a peak year. Then FDI declined through 2017, before generally increasing until 2021, when it reached its all-time peak. You're right that I got the year wrong: the peak was in 2021, not 2022. But the story you've told of there being a steady decline since 2013, due to foreign companies not wanting to share IP, is just completely disproven by the chart. It also doesn't make sense based on how Chinese IP sharing policies have changed over time - they have been rolled back in the last decade, not increased.
There have been huge changes in the world economic outlook and in financial policy since 2022. The US ended the zero-interest-rate policy in 2022, which has huge implications for global monetary flows.

Yes, readers can Google it (or look at the World Bank data below) and see that the story you're telling is just plain wrong. People in the US are exposed to such a crazy level of constant fear mongering about China that any kind of moderating comments are seen as propaganda.
