Global holdings of Chinese stocks and bonds have jumped by about $120 billion in 2021 as foreign investors chase returns in the country’s markets despite recent volatility and regulatory crackdowns, the Financial Times reported.

International investors held 7.5 trillion renminbi ($1.1 trillion) of equity and fixed income securities priced in renminbi as of the end of September, up about 760 billion renminbi from the end of 2020, according to the FT’s calculations.
