The Chinese economy brought in more foreign direct investment than any other country last year, knocking the United States from its perch atop the list.

China brought in $163 billion in inflows last year, compared to $134 billion attracted by the U.S., the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. In 2019, the U.S. received $251 billion in inflows and China received $140 billion.

Developed countries were hit harder last year than so-called "developing" countries. Investment in the U.S. fell 49%, slightly less than the developed country average of 69%. China managed to largely get coronavirus under control within its borders last year, despite being the first nation to be hit with the deadly disease.
