Foreign investors swear by A shares

Jan-July period sees $23.4 billion in inflows despite fears over trade rows

Overseas investors' committment to China's key A-share market remains unchanged despite the less-than-stellar performance of stocks in the past few months due to concerns over trade frictions.

At a news conference on Aug 10, Gao Li, spokesperson of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, said overseas investors pumped in 161.6 billion yuan ($23.4 billion) into A shares in the January-July period.
