BERLIN—China last year dropped out of the top three foreign investors in Germany for the first time in more than a decade, official German data seen by Reuters showed on May 20, as the Chinese regime focuses on boosting the domestic economy.

Figures compiled by Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI), a government institution, reveal that China is now the fourth-largest contributor of foreign direct investment to Germany, behind the United States, Britain, and Switzerland.
