Claim: China has banned all new investments in Israel.
Conclusion: The claim is misrepresentation. There is credible evidence that one Chinese investment fund, Ballet Vision claimed risk classification to avoid honouring a contract in Israel. However, this does not constitute an official, public or economy-wide ban by the Chinese government.

FACT CHECK
DigitEYE India decided to investigate this claim and found that it is misleading. Available information suggests that a Chinese investment fund, Ballet Vision cited risk assessment as a reason not to proceed with a contract in Israel. However, this was pertaining to only one comapany and should not be interpreted as a total ban.
Details:
We first conducted a web search with the phrase “China bans all new investment in Israel” to learn more. According to a report by Hindustan Gazette, this whole issue comes from a December 2025 letter by Ballet Vision (a Chinese-controlled fund) responding to a lawsuit filed by Kibbutz Hanita in Tel Aviv District Court. The kibbutz seeks $11 million to force Ballet Vision to “purchase the remaining shares.” The fund refused, stating that “the Chinese government has classified Israel as a high-risk zone and banned any new Chinese investments.” View this section from the report below –
Another report by Ynetnews has also reported this, mentioning how the Chinese fund gave the minority shareholders the option to sell their remaining shares back to it for about “$9.5 million, now valued at roughly $11 million, by early December 2025.”
However, Liu Yuxiao, a Ballet Vision director and the plant’s acting CEO, cited the company’s $15M losses and $4M debt over three years. There were also “political constraints, saying the Chinese government’s restrictions have forced the fund to rely on shareholder loans rather than fresh capital injections.” View this section from the report below –
Next, we searched for any official response from the Chinese Government or about classifying Israel as a “red zone”. Beijing has issued no public statement, decree or notice confirming this. The classification appears to be only mentioned by the Ballet Vision (a Chinese-controlled fund) in court and is not corroborated by the Chinese Government. There have been no reports about a blanket ban by China on investments in Israel from any reputable news outlets or major media platforms.
Thus, the claim is misrepresentation.
