“Chinese investment in the US is unlikely to recover meaningfully from its mid-2010s collapse even if President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump reach a bilateral deal when they meet in Beijing next month, according to a report released on Thursday.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results report the core claim: that Chinese investment in the US is unlikely to recover meaningfully despite potential high-level talks between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump. The claim is directly supported by reports citing Rhodium Group's analysis.

“Rhodium Group, an American research firm that tracks China’s cross-border investment, said Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States had “fallen significantly from its 2016 peak, and remained at low levels for the past five years” and was “unlikely to return to those levels”.”
CORROBORATED
Two independent web search results directly quote or paraphrase Rhodium Group's findings: that Chinese FDI in the US fell significantly from its 2016 peak and remained at low levels. This confirms the core data points of the claim.

“In 2024, China ranked 17th among countries by new FDI spending in the US at US$589 million, against US$30.1 billion for top investor Ireland, according to data from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The claim provides specific, quantitative data (China ranking 17th, US$589 million; Ireland top investor with US$30.1 billion) attributed to the US Bureau of Economic Analysis for the year 2024. However, the gathered evidence (web search and Wikipedia) does not contain any specific data points, reports, or links from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis confirming these exact figures or rankings for 2024. The evidence provided is too general to confirm this specific economic data.
