China Outbound Real Estate Investment – A Comprehensive Data Report

China outbound real estate investment

China Outbound Real Estate Investment is a trending attractive way for China’s HNWI to live a luxurious lifestyle with a foreign residency, manage their wealth, and provide education and lifestyle opportunities for their families.

This China Gravy article provides insightful information for international immigration companies and real estate agents who assist their Chinese HNWI clients to purchase real estate abroad for investment, citizenship, and to upgrade their lifestyle.

While investment immigration slowed down, like everything else, during the Covid pandemic in 2020/21, the buying spree of China outbound real estate investors is gaining momentum again in 2022.

China Outbound Real Estate Investment

With the findings from this article, international real estate and immigration agents, companies, platforms, and developers can

  • optimize their online content for Chinese search engines to increase their exposure impactfully
  • run targeted Baidu PPC ads to generate leads
  • reach their target audience with influencers in their industry
  • assess potential partners in China and the Greater China area (Singapore, Macao, Taiwan, Hong Kong) for collaboration to reach, convert, and serve Chinese prospective clients at optimum

But first, we’ll take a look at why Chinese HNWIs move abroad in the first place and their favorite destinations to expatriate. Then, we’ll examine the main competitors (Chinese agencies and platforms) for real estate and investment immigration-related keywords on the first Baidu SERP. Finally, we’ll show you how to reach Chinese HNWIs who seek investment immigration.

Now, let’s get started.

1. Reasons for Chinese Citizens to Expatriate

China’s 1.4 billion population is getting wealthier and wealthier. Chinese HNWI choose attractive countries around the world for themselves and their families to upgrade their lifestyle and expand their opportunities in the professional, educational, or health area as well as to gain access to attractive overseas destinations and their benefits, as the European Union. 

Whether to manage their wealth (lower taxes abroad, better investment opportunities, etc.) or provide their children with excellent higher education – the booming Chinese middle class is seeking attractive foreign socio-economic opportunities.

At the same time, local conditions may drive Chinese HNWIs to seek their luck elsewhere. This may include political reasons, prosecution of minorities, lack of freedom of expression, the handling of Covid, increasing real estate prices, and access to independent information.

Just keep in mind that, unlike many countries, China does not allow dual citizenship. However, as Chinese are typically very patriotic, most HNWIs are interested in foreign residency (Golden Visa) over foreign citizenship (Golden Passport). At the same time, with the Chinese government starting to tax overseas Chinese, foreign citizenship could become more interesting for Chinese HNWIs. 

On the other hand, Golden Visa investment immigration schemes provide temporary short- or long-term residency in the destination of choice. However, this doesn’t affect the citizenship/passport. In the EU, Cyprus, Greece, Malta, and Portugal are the favorites among international HNWIs, retirees, and entrepreneurs.

Overall, China has moderate taxation. The individual income tax is progressive with rates between 3% and 45%. Individuals who reside in China for more than 183 days are taxed on their worldwide earned income. At the same time, China has signed over 100 double taxation agreements. At an effective rate of 15%, the corporate tax in China is below the global average.

Demographics of Overseas Chinese Communities

To begin with, let’s take a look at the countries with the most Chinese expats (2020). We have then selected the most popular investment immigration destinations based on online visibility, keyword volumes, and social media relevance, on which we will focus on these countries in this article:

CountryChinese expats
Thailand7 million
USA5.4 million
Singapore3 million
Canada1.9 million
Australia1.4 million
United Kingdom500.000
Spain300.000
New Zealand300.000
Greece130.000
Germany150.000
Portugal25.000
Turkey19.000
Cyprus1.000
Malta600

With its relative proximity and Asian lifestyle, Thailand is among the favorite overseas Chinese communities. Chinese emigrants prefer Malay-dominated provinces in the South as well as Bangkok and Phuket.

China cross-border investments

The United States of America are clearly another favorite among Chinese expats. First and foremost, wealthy Chinese appreciate the educational opportunities and the living environment in the United States. New York (865,000 expats), Los Angeles (678,000 expats), and San Francisco (582,000 expats) with their iconic Chinatowns are home to the majority of these immigrants. In fact, New York is home to the largest Chinatowns in the world.

Much more than a tourist destination for a night out or some street food, Chinatowns in the USA are vibrant neighborhoods where Asian communities maintain their rich culture, heritage, and identity. Oftentimes, there are also temples, museums, and other Chinese points of interest.

Finally, Singapore is a hotspot for overseas Chinese communities as Mandarin Chinese is one of the four official languages of Singapore along with English, Malay, and Tamil. Besides, 74% of Singapore’s 5.5 million population are of Chinese descent, 14% are Malays, 9% are Indians, and 3% have other roots. There are two Chinatowns in Singapore with ample food stalls, souvenir shops, bars, and cultural institutions.

2. Country Overview of China’s Top Emigration Countries for China Outbound Real Estate Investment

Now, let’s get an overview of China’s favorite expat destinations in terms of cost of living, taxes, and real estate (buying and rental).

Cost of Living Comparison

For the cost of living, we’re referring to the latest findings from WorldData. A total of 109 countries have been ranked. Bermuda on rank 1 is the most expensive while Angola on rank 109 is the least expensive. The cost index is compared to the USA (100). So, for example, in China, goods of daily life are 40% cheaper compared to the USA.

Turkey36.982754$

Next, we’ll examine the situation around taxes in the selected target countries.

Taxes Comparison

In terms of taxes, we’ll take a look at the personal income tax, corporate tax, rental income tax, and the number of double taxation agreements.

Finally, we’ll take a look at property prices and estimated real estate return of investment (ROI).

Property Prices & Real Estate ROI Comparison

Regarding property prices, we’re referring to the 2022 data on Numbeo. 112 countries have been ranked with Ghana being the least expensive country and Saudi Arabia being the most expensive one. The price-to-income ratio assesses purchased apartments for their affordability (the lower the better). 

Besides, we’re taking a look at the price per square meter to buy an apartment in the city center and the price per square meter to buy an apartment outside the city center, based on the latest Numbeo data.

Now, before we take a deep dive into the Baidu keyword data and acquisition of China outbound real estate investment partners, let’s take a look at what the Chinese government has to say about this.

3. Restriction of Chinese Overseas Investments

As you probably know, the Chinese government keeps close tabs on the activities of its citizens and businesses.

Institutional Restrictions

In 2017, China published the Guidelines on Further Guiding and Normalizing the Directions of Outbound Investments. Outbound Chinese investment must be registered with the NDRC and MOFCOM for “approval and filing regime”. Outbound investments are categorized into “encouraged”, “restricted” and “prohibited”.

Encouraged are outbound investments that

  • contribute to the implementation of China’s “One Belt, One Road” initiative
  • upgrade China’s technical standards
  • create research and development institutions with overseas high-tech enterprises
  • contribute to oil and gas extraction
  • benefit China’s agriculture, forestry, fishery, or animal husbandry

Restricted are outbound investments

  • in sensitive countries or regions
  • in certain industries like real estate, hotels, cinemas, entertainment, and sports clubs
  • that establish equity investment funds without specific industrial projects
  • with outdated manufacturing equipment
  • in violation of the host country’s environment, energy, and security standards

Prohibited are outbound investments that

  • are related to China’s military technology and products
  • have been banned from export (technologies, crafts, products)
  • are in the gambling and pornography sector
  • endanger national security or national interest

Encouraged outbound investments may benefit from tax, insurance, customs, and other benefits and incentives, while restricted outbound investments will be closely examined by the Chinese government.

Individual Restrictions

The following restrictions of Chinese investments, including China outbound real estate investment, are relevant for individual HNWIs and investors interested in getting a Golden Visa.

Capital Controls

Restricting domestic households from investing abroad keeps funds within Chinese borders. This “closed” capital account policy means that companies, banks, and individuals in China cannot move funds freely in or out of the country unless it abides by strict foreign exchange rules. To date, individuals may only transfer or exchange up to 50,000USD per year. 

No Dual Citizenship Allowed

Unlike many other countries, China does not allow dual citizenship. If a Chinese citizen accepts foreign citizenship, for example, through the Golden Passport through the real estate investment route, they have to be ready to give up their Chinese citizenship.

As Chinese are normally very patriotic, most investors are interested in foreign residency (Golden Visa) rather than foreign citizenship (Golden Passport). However, with the Chinese government starting to tax overseas Chinese, foreign citizenships could gain relevance for Chinese HNWIs.

A China expert like China Gravy can help you to navigate any uncertainties regarding restricted Chinese outbound investments, and to clarify your investment with the Chinese authorities.

4. Baidu Keyword Research for China Outbound Real Estate Investment

Nowadays, research typically starts with a search engine – Baidu in China and Google in the rest of the world. Therefore, we’re kicking off the China outbound real estate investment exploration with China’s most popular search engine Baidu.

Below you will find the search volumes for the most relevant China outbound real estate investment terms for the top Chinese emigration countries as of 23 February 2022, based on the Baidu Keyword Research Tool

The higher the monthly search volume, the larger the potential reach among Chinese online users. The higher the CPC (cost per click of a paid ad), the more competition of other agencies and companies for a specific keyword.

To get an overview of the attractiveness of a country for Chinese online users, we first take a look at the search volume of each target country. This just gives an overview of the general awareness of a country among people who start their online research.

  1. the target country
  2. immigration to the target country (general)
  3. studying in the target country

Secondly, we’ll examine investment immigration and real estate keywords for the target countries, where we also shed a light on the main competitors (agencies, platforms) that can also be acquired as partners.

  1. immigration to the target country (investment immigration)
  2. Real estate in the target country

We have always selected the keywords with the highest search volume, which is why the keyword phrases may not be identical. For example, 想移民加拿大 (want to immigrate to Canada) has a significantly higher search volume compared to 加拿大移民 (Canada immigration).

I. Target Country

Unsurprisingly, large Western countries lead this list when choosing a general keyword.

14葡萄牙Portugal85,5430.32

Next, we examine the investment immigration search volume, starting with a general keyword.

II. Immigration to the Target Country (General)

This keyword overview to the target country is still rather general and doesn’t include HNWIs and real estate investors as the target audience as everyone can research moving to another country.

Now, we’re taking a look at the search volume and CPC on Baidu for studying in the target country.

III. Studying in the Target Country

Wealthy Chinese investors often prefer for their children to study abroad and typically buy an apartment near their university for them. These are the top destinations according to the selected keywords.

Now, we are going one level deeper.

A. Immigration to the Target Country (Investment Immigration)

We are adding more detail by choosing a specific investment immigration keyword for emigrating to the target country. 

As additional information, we’re including the key organic competitors in this list. This allows international immigration companies and real estate agents targeting Chinese HNWI clients to (1) understand their paid and organic competitors on China’s top search engine Baidu, in order to improve their own content to rank better than the competitors, (2) acquire these agencies as partners, so they can promote their projects with them.
