Evidence: Supports China’s total and ten reported sector values for non-financial outward direct investment in 2025.
The ten sectors are a selected official set rather than a complete sector universe. The national total and sector values are preliminary.
The ten reported sectors are ranked by investment value, and each share uses the official national total as the denominator.
All sector values use one official release, the 2025 period, the same investment definition and the same current-yuan basis.
