China's cross-border capital inflows returned in April, marking a decisive shift from March's brief outflow and signaling renewed foreign investor confidence. On-shore banks received $61.9 billion from overseas clients, according to official data released Monday, reversing the previous month's $32.1 billion outflow.

This represents the sixth consecutive month of net inflows in seven, suggesting persistent demand for Chinese assets despite recent geopolitical tensions. The sustained capital attraction comes as the yuan has strengthened in recent weeks, supported by improved risk appetite among international investors.

The return of substantial foreign capital provides a critical buffer for China's economy, helping to stabilize markets and support asset valuations. With global investors regaining confidence in the world's second-largest economy, these inflows validate recent policy measures aimed at bolstering market sentiment and currency stability.
