Certainly a lot of the discrepancy is attributable to valuation effects since 1982, the dollar value of overseas assets has increased repeatedly, owing to increases in the dollar value of foreign currency and increases in the assets foreign currency value. But part of the discrepancy also reflects the discovery of missing assets, some of which may have originated in the reinvestment of overseas income.

Second, China s foreign assets are denominated almost exclusively in US dollars, while its foreign liabilities are denominated mostly in renminbi. As a result, whenever the US dollar declines, China s net international investment position (the difference between its external financial assets and liabilities) deteriorates and so does its investment income balance.

As a result, when the dollar depreciates against the renminbi, the value of China s foreign liabilities increases in dollar terms, while that of its foreign assets remains unchanged. As a result, China s net international investment position (NIIP), which is the difference between China s gross assets and its gross liabilities, automatically worsens.

It is worth noting that, as the market expects a more stable renminbi, the attractiveness of renminbi assets to foreign investors will also gradually increase.
