The aid data report findings show Chinese state banks have lent some $200 billion for more than 2,500 projects in the U.S.
between 2000 and 2023, including for deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars in semiconductors and technology.
That amount dwarfs any other destination for Chinese state lending.
Overall, though, China has been scaling back its overseas lending as economic pressure builds at home, and experience helps them choose better investments, especially in high-income countries moving away from developing countries.

Meanwhile, Japan has warned its citizens to avoid crowded areas in China, out of concern for their safety.
