  "account": "Shanghai - Chinese investors are rapidly investing in US stocks following Beijing's decision to open up more avenues for overseas investment. The Chinese foreign exchange regulator recently raised the quota for qualified domestic institutional investors (QDII) by $6.8 billion to a record $183 billion. This move has sparked a surge in US-focused funds, with daily inflow caps on such funds being raised to $5,000 from $10 in just one day. Ivan Shi, head of research at Z-Ben Advisors, says there is immense demand in China for US tech stocks. This capital outflow poses a challenge for Beijing, as the country's 10-year government bond yield remains three percentage points below US Treasury yields and the local stock market has lagged behind US equities this year. The balance of payments for China turned positive recently due to strong trade inflows, but the regulators still need to find a balance to control outflows.",
  "summary": "SHANGHAI: Chinese investors are piling into foreign assets, especially US stock funds, after regulators lifted outbound quotas, unlocking pent-up demand as domestic yields are at rock bottom and Beijing tightens unofficial routes for moving money abroad.",
