China Market Update: WuXi Apptec Doubles Profit, Childcare Stimulus Launched
CLN Asian equities were mixed overnight as Mainland China's STAR Market and Thailand outperformed, while Vietnam and Pakistan underperformed. Trade representatives from the US and China completed two days of talks that had the expressed purpose of extending the August 1st deadline for a trade deal. Most analysts are saying that a 90-day extension is likely. The global economy has weathered the tariffs better than expected so far, though it is important to remember the level of exemptions granted to key product areas, especially for China. We need a deal, but the negotiators are taking their time, which will hopefully result in the best possible outcome. Fingers crossed! Recent outperformers were sold off today, except for health care. Viral Labubu doll-maker Pop Mart was net sold by Mainland investors via Southbound Stock Connect, who likely took profits in the name. Meanwhile, insurance companies were also sold off following a strong rally yesterday on lower interest rate guidance for insurance contracts. Internet stocks were mostly lower as we head into earnings season next month. However, some price targets for video platform Kuaishou were raised, though the stock was down overnight. WuXi Apptec indicated that its net profit for the first half 2025 more than doubled. The stock was up +11.25% in Hong Kong overnight. WuXi Apptec has seen significant tailwinds this year, along with its co-named peer WuXi Biologics. These include the removal of an extreme geopolitical overhang on Wuxi Biologics and Apptec: the proposed BIOSECURE Act, which would have barred it from working with US entities receiving federal medicare and medicaid dollars. It is estimated that one-third of all the drugs on the US market today passed through China-based contract research labs, such as WuXi Apptec and Biologics. They are based in China but have facilities all over the world, including in the United States. China committed new capital to increasing the birth rate. The government will now allocate RMB 3,600 annually for families with children under three. Related stocks cheered the news. Does this count as additional stimulus for consumption? Indirectly, yes. The lack of a social safety net and deflation are the primary reasons China's consumers hesitate to increase spending significantly.

China Market Update: Hong Kong & Mainland China Grind Higher As Bessent Packs His Bags
CLN Asian equities delivered mixed performance overnight, as Vietnam outperformed on a trade deal, while Taiwan, South Korea, and Thailand all lagged amid the absence of new deals. News broke that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will travel to Stockholm to meet his Chinese counterparts, a potential signal of further thawing in US-China geopolitical tensions. Investors are watching closely to see whether this latest move provides a lift to US-listed China stocks, following last week's positive push when the Nvidia H20 export ban was lifted. The market continues to anticipate a possible Trump-Xi summit. The delay of China tariff decisions is seen as a sign that talks are progressing. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index finished just above 25,000, and the Hang Seng Tech Index closed a touch above 5,600, while both Shanghai and Shenzhen moved gradually higher over the session. Notably, Southbound Stock Connect flows accounted for 61% of Hong Kong market volume for a second straight day, suggesting subdued foreign participation. Sector-wise, market moves closely mirrored yesterday's action, as the new mega-dam project announcement continued to support building materials, machinery, and construction stocks listed in both Hong Kong and Mainland China. The coal sector once again drove a value-investing bias, with Shaanxi Coal Industry climbing +7.93% and Shanxi Coking Coal jumping +10.07%, as fresh price increases are expected this week. Hong Kong-listed internet stocks produced mixed results: Tencent rose +0.86%, Alibaba edged up +0.08% despite its Qwen3 AI outperforming OpenAI and DeepSeek, Kuaishou gained +1.82%, and ended flat. Robotics maker UB Tech fell -5.71%, after issuing 30 million new shares at a 9% discount to the previous close, raising HKD 2.47 billion (about $315 million). Unitree Robotics is reportedly planning a Hong Kong listing in October. Among automakers, the Hong Kong share classes of BYD and battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) advanced +5.09% and +2.34%, respectively, after BYD announced stronger local sales than Tesla. Mainland China's markets steadily climbed throughout the trading session. The energy sector led, as solar companies outperformed, including Sungrow, up +1.90%, Tongwei, up +5.55%, and LONGi Green Energy, up +1.59%. Silicon futures on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange continued their strong rebound, finishing up +5.98% for the day and +17.82% over the last 10 days, helped by government-led production cuts initiated in early July. These measures brought silicon futures from a low of 6,982 to a close of 9,655. There are signs that Central Huijin, the finance-focused branch of China's sovereign wealth fund, was actively buying Mainland-listed equity exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on mutual fund shareholder data as of the end of the second quarter. One major ETF reported that its largest shareholder, which is almost certainly Central Huijin, had increased its ownership by 10.874 billion shares, bringing its stake to 37.858 billion shares, or 40.26% of the fund. While an estimated US$10 billion in ETF inflows is noteworthy, it is modest relative to Mainland China's roughly $12 trillion free-float market capitalization, representing only a minor contribution even when spread across multiple funds.

China Market Update: Real Estate Roars On Policy Support
CLN Asian equities were largely higher despite a new round of Trump tariff love letters as South Korea outperformed. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) reported earnings after the close locally. Thailand was closed for Asarnha Bucha Day, which, according to Perplexity, commemorates the day when the Buddha delivered his first sermon, known as the "Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta" or "Setting the Wheel of Dharma in Motion". Before diving into today's Hong Kong and Mainland China rally, it is worth pointing out that Southbound Stock Connect, the trading platform that allows Mainland investors to buy Hong Kong stocks (and vice versa), accounted for 61% of Hong Kong turnover. Readings above 60% are exceedingly rare, which indicates a lack of foreign investor participation, in my opinion. Despite good relative and absolute performance year-to-date and going back to January of 2024, there continues to be a lack of interest in China stocks. All you will read about today is Nvidia's $4 trillion in market cap, which is despite a host of tailwinds forming for China's equities. Mainland investors appear to have noticed, as Shanghai and Shenzhen broke out above their pre-Liberation day levels. Now, back to today's note. Real estate stocks surged +5.19% in Hong Kong and +2.38% in Mainland China, after the National Development and Reform Commission's (NDRC) Urban and Small Town Reform and Development Center stated four 'major actions of new urbanization with high quality' will be implemented in order to reach 'new urbanization by 2035'. The policies include all of the below, though I bolded one of them in particular: Could the government take over unsold housing inventory to support people moving into cities from agricultural areas? That's what this sounds like. Earlier this year, the Shenzhen Government took over distressed state-owned developer Vanke, a sign of unorthodox government involvement. Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but, if real estate prices increase, the knock-on effects should be higher for consumer confidence and domestic consumption. Building materials and industrials also gained on the prospect of a high level of new construction. It was an old school value rally, as banks, insurance and coal all had strong days, though I am not certain of the connection to the real estate news. Healthcare was mixed, though Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals gained +7.11% on an analyst upgrade. Internet stocks were largely higher, especially versus the downdraft in their US-listed counterparts yesterday. Alibaba gained +0.29% in Hong Kong, versus a decline of -3.85% in New York yesterday. gained +1.30% versus a gain of+1.34% in New York yesterday. Tencent fell -0.20% versus a decline of -0.80% in New York yesterday. NetEase fell -1.46% versus -2.27%. Baidu fell -1.19% versus -1.79%. fell -1.35% versus -3.36%. Bilibili fell -1.5% versus -3.57%. This appears to be American pessimism, rather than American exceptionalism. We wrote yesterday about the potential opportunity in Asian high yield US dollar-denominated bonds, which include Chinese real estate developers. Also helping today's move was distressed developer Logan Group, which gained +20.88% after creditors approved a debt restructuring plan. The Ministry of Commerce (MoC) spokesperson, He Yongqian, did not confirm or deny a question on US Commerce Secretary Lutnick's recent statement that trade negotiators from the US and China would meet soon. He also refrained from confirming whether Nvidia's Jensen Huang would be visiting and meeting with government officials in a rumored China trip next week. One interesting information nugget from yesterday's NDRC update on the 14th Five Year Plan was that China's economy is expected to reach RMB 140 trillion, having grown by RMB 35 trillion during the period covered by the plan. Domestic demand over the last four years has contributed 86.4% of economic growth, as consumption accounted for 56.2% of growth. This likely helps explain the China's tough stance vis-a-vis US tariffs. The Ministry of Human Resources and Ministry of Finance (MoF) both stated that the basic pension payment for retirees will be increased by +2%, after having paid out RMB 6.8 trillion in 2024. The lack of significant support for retirees is a significant positive from a government budget perspective and explains an element of the US budget problem, as well.
