The three-year decline in Chinese investment in Australia further reflects the deteriorating economic and diplomatic relationship between Australia and China.

China's biggest drop in investment in Australia in 2019 was in real estate, mining and manufacturing, the report said, while investment in agriculture plummeted, but slightly increased in construction and finance.

"There is no doubt that Chinese investors now believe that investing in Australia is more difficult at the moment ," said Mr. Dreisdale. "
