Summary
3.21 trillion yuan in Chinese interbank bond holdings was reached in May after foreign investors added 90 billion yuan, the first monthly increase since April 2025.
Chinese sovereign debt drew money back as its market held up better than global peers during a brutal selloff that battered debt markets elsewhere.
61 billion yuan of the May increase went into Chinese government bonds, according to China Central Depository & Clearing data, the biggest rise in that segment since December 2023.
The rebound marks a turn after more than a year of foreign withdrawals, suggesting Chinese bonds regained appeal as a relative haven in volatile global fixed-income markets.
