china capital outflows

Beijing’s plan to turn China into a global soccer powerhouse has led to several investments in foreign clubs over the past year, despite China’s general controls on capital exiting the country.

MSCI Inc. dealt a surprising blow to China last week, by again delaying to add Chinese A-shares in the company’s benchmark index for emerging markets.

Beijing’s direct investment in Africa fell by between 40 and 84 percent in the first half of 2015.
