The country's reserve assets exceeded 3.38 trillion U.S. dollars at the end of March, accounting for 69 percent of its external financial assets, according to the SAFE.

The country's outbound direct investment in the financial sector hit 379 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 8 percent of external financial assets; portfolio investments reached 270.3 billion U.S. dollars for six percent, while other investments hit 859.5 billion U.S. dollars for 18 percent, the statement said.

China has lost a net $390 billion in overseas investments. They would do better to stay at home.
