About 71 percent of China's external financial assets were its US$2.45 trillion forex reserves, according to SAFE.

China's US$229.6 billion of direct investment overseas, US$242.8 billion of securities portfolio investment and US$536.5 billion of other unspecified investments made up the rest of its financial assets.
