On March 31, research by RWR on Chinese real estate investment in BRI countries was referenced by the Financial Times.  RWR found that that such activity decreased from $23.6 billion in 2016 to $14 billion in 2018, and that investment in 2019 has not yet reached $1 billion.  RWR COO Andrew Davenport told the Financial Times, “It dose appear including in commercial real estate development projects in BRI countries, that a noticeable slowdown, or an effort to discipline, occurred. There was a degree of concern about capital flight, and perhaps, in general a sense that the exuberance and blank-cheque approach to BRI by state-owned enterprises and policy banks was reeling a little bit out of control.” https://www.ft.com/content/49bdc916-5033–11e9-b401-8d9ef1626294
