WS #14874
Chinese consumer equities are trading near their lowest valuations in a decade, reflecting deep structural concerns and a massive rotation of capital away from domestic consumption and toward artificial intelligence infrastructure. While a minor tariff deal on $30B of goods provides a marginal floor, the dominant trend is a bearish repricing of China's economic outlook. This capital flight benefits US-based AI leaders but leaves Chinese domestic plays and global importers exposed to demand destruction.
