Domestic headline

China’s fixed asset investment tracks investment projects under the domestic statistical system.

International measure

International comparison uses national-accounts capital formation, which has a different boundary and accounting framework.

Common mistake

Do not rank countries using China’s fixed asset investment total against other countries’ capital formation.
