\nSeeking relief from a depreciating yuan, Chinese outbound investors have been on a roll lately, proposing jaw-dropping acquisitions in the commercial real estate sector in recent months from Dubai to Yangon\u00a0and\u00a0every investment haven in between.
\nThe speeds of capital deployment from the Middle Kingdom has been met with suspicion both at home and abroad.
\nDetermined to foil short-term exchange rate fluctuations, China\u2019s foreign exchange regulator has more aggressively stepped in offshore property deals.
\nAccording to the South China Morning Post, property developers have found it trickier to deploy capital amounting to more than USD50 million outside China now.
\nAnalysts believe the regulations may explain the relative slowdown in offshore property investments from China.

\nJones Lang LaSalle reported that Chinese outbound property investments dropped 30 percent in Q1 2016\u00a0to USD3.4 billion, per South China Morning Post.
\nCompounding investors\u2019 troubles is the belated difficulty in penetrating the American property market.
\nWary of threats to national security, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) has been reviewing, and in some cases, nixing proposed purchases stateside.
\nIn 2014, CFIUS reviewed 147 proposed projects, 24 of which were Chinese in origin, Bloomberg reported.
\nFor reasons still undisclosed, Anbang Insurance Group\u2019s plans to acquire Connecticut-based hotel chain Starwood for USD14 billion fell through in March. The Beijing-based holding company had famously bought New York City\u2019s iconic Waldorf Astoria hotel from Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc for USD1.95 billion in 2014.

\nChinese buyers have exhibited a more voracious appetite for residential real estate though. In a study by the Asia Society and Rosen Consulting Group, per The Guardian, Chinese have now surpassed Canadians as the biggest foreign buyers of US homes.
\nChinese funnelled USD93 billion into American residences from 2010 through 2015, compared with USD17 billion for commercial property, the study said.
\nIn Australia, Treasurer Scott Morrison recently spurned an attempt by China\u2019s Dakang Holdings to acquire S. Kidman and Co\u2019s enormous cattle farmland, which covers 1.3 percent of the Australian landmass.
\nOthers have been more welcoming of Chinese money \u2013\u00a0seemingly none more so than Dubai developers. In anticipation of the 2020 World Expo, Chinese moved an estimated USD463 million into Dubai properties in the first nine months of 2015, Reuters reported.
\nCloser neighbours are benefiting as well. According to The Myanmar Times, Chinese investors are investing in an ambitious Yangon property development and flouting current property laws in the process.
