Welcome to today\u2019s event. This is Andrew Wilkinson with Interactive Brokers, and I\u2019m joined on this call by Xiaolin Chen, who\u2019s the Head of International at KraneShares in London. Xiaolin, a huge welcome back to the program. How are you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xiaolin-chen\"><strong>Xiaolin Chen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Very well. Thank you so much for having me again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-andrew-wilkinson-0\"><strong>Andrew Wilkinson<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A pleasure. So we\u2019re going to talk about China and Chinese stock markets. The Shanghai Composite is up by about 5% to begin 2026, and trading volumes set a record at the start of the week. What\u2019s behind the current bout of enthusiasm for Chinese shares?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xiaolin-chen-0\"><strong>Xiaolin Chen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it\u2019s fair to say that China\u2019s Chinese New Year wishes have arrived earlier than many people expected. You often hear the phrase \u201cChristmas wishes\u201d in the West \u2014 this is really the Chinese New Year version of that.What we\u2019re seeing now is the result of last year\u2019s policy announcements and monetary support from the government, particularly funding aimed at technology, AI, and innovation. Right at the start of 2026, several companies in AI, technology, and large language models began coming to market. Investors had been watching these trends for some time, but now they\u2019re starting to see real, tangible progress.The market is reacting to a wave of companies that had been preparing for IPOs for years and are finally able to come to market. As those doors open, investors who were waiting on the sidelines are asking, \u201cWhat else is coming out of China?\u201d And the answer is: quite a lot. These new listings are encouraging because they reflect real industrial progress supported from the top down. More companies are now reaching the public markets, allowing retail investors access to these growth areas. And perhaps most importantly, China is catching up with developed markets by building its own AI ecosystem across multiple layers of the value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-andrew-wilkinson-1\"><strong>Andrew Wilkinson<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a couple of things I want to dig into with you in a moment \u2014 AI and the IPO market \u2014 both of which you just mentioned. But first, let\u2019s take a step back. How have China\u2019s recent macroeconomic policy shifts impacted domestic growth and the global outlook?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xiaolin-chen-1\"><strong>Xiaolin Chen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s a great question. China is still an emerging market, and in emerging markets, policy direction matters a great deal. Investors want to understand where the government is taking the country. One of the most important recent policy developments is the 15th Five-Year Plan. Every five years, the Chinese government lays out a strategic roadmap, and this plan clearly highlights a few key priorities.First and foremost is the consumer. China\u2019s greatest asset is its people, so the focus is on helping households build wealth and feel more confident about spending and supporting their lifestyles. From a top-down perspective, restoring consumer purchasing power is a major policy theme. That includes continued support for e-commerce and related sectors. The second priority is technological self-sufficiency, particularly in AI and advanced technologies across the entire value chain. The third priority is staying competitive at the technological frontier while also addressing demographic challenges, especially an aging population. Technology plays a key role here \u2014 automation can help fill labor gaps, improve productivity, and allow people to move into higher-value roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, policy remains very accommodative. Roughly 80% of current policy efforts are focused on domestic issues \u2014 helping people, supporting growth, and generating wealth. The remaining focus is on managing global uncertainty, maintaining international engagement, and expanding technology cooperation overseas. As a result, we\u2019re seeing more constructive and open communication from Chinese policymakers toward the global community. From China\u2019s perspective, that means continued dialogue and, hopefully, more positive outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-andrew-wilkinson-2\"><strong>Andrew Wilkinson<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What I find fascinating about this rally is that the renewed appeal of Chinese stocks seems to have pushed concerns about real estate into the background. People aren\u2019t really talking about that anymore. Why is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xiaolin-chen-2\"><strong>Xiaolin Chen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two main reasons. First, Chinese households are not highly leveraged overall. While the property market has gone through consolidation \u2014 including a psychological adjustment \u2014 the situation is very different from highly leveraged housing markets elsewhere. If you think back to 2008, many households in other countries experienced severe stress due to negative equity. That hasn\u2019t been the case in China. Even after corrections, most households didn\u2019t face significant negative equity, and leverage levels remained relatively low. As a result, the property market has gone through a gradual and orderly correction. Importantly, it also corrected investor expectations. Real estate is no longer seen as the primary engine of wealth creation in China. After three years of consolidation, the dust has largely settled. People now recognize that growth opportunities lie elsewhere \u2014 in technology, new IPOs, and emerging industries. Meanwhile, China\u2019s job market remains relatively stable, which helps support household confidence. One characteristic of emerging markets is that they tend to move on quickly. Instead of dwelling on past cycles, investors focus on the next opportunity \u2014 and that shift is clearly underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-andrew-wilkinson-3\"><strong>Andrew Wilkinson<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s bring it back to artificial intelligence. What\u2019s the current outlook for AI in China?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xiaolin-chen-3\"><strong>Xiaolin Chen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I would describe this as a real \u201cspringtime\u201d moment for AI in China. China was late to the most advanced stages of AI development \u2014 particularly in cutting-edge chip design \u2014 but it was not late in recognizing how important AI would be for society. China\u2019s focus is now on open-source models and, most importantly, commercialization. While the country may not yet have chips as advanced as Nvidia\u2019s, it does have sufficient computing power and energy capacity to deploy AI at scale. That foundation allows AI to be applied quickly in real-world settings. We\u2019re already seeing this in practice. Robots are being deployed in hotels, logistics centers, restaurants, hospitals, and home-care facilities. In hotels, for example, robots can greet guests and communicate in multiple languages around the clock \u2014 something that\u2019s simply not feasible with human staffing alone. China\u2019s logistics sector is another good example. The country handles enormous delivery volumes \u2014 tens of billions of parcels annually \u2014 which simply wouldn\u2019t be possible without automation. AI-powered robotics is now deeply embedded in these systems.In elder care, AI is also playing a growing role. Given China\u2019s demographic challenges, companion robots are being used to provide interaction and support. These applications may sound simple, but they represent meaningful social and economic value. From an investment perspective, China\u2019s emphasis is on making AI tangible and profitable. Investors want to see AI working in the real world, not just theoretical investment in infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2026, I believe humanoid and service-oriented robots will be one of the most visible themes. We\u2019ve already seen this at CES \u2014 robots cleaning facilities, assisting in hospitals, and supporting logistics. The opportunity extends across the entire supply chain, from sensors and processors to software and robotics hardware. Many winners will emerge along that value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-andrew-wilkinson-4\"><strong>Andrew Wilkinson<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We mentioned the IPO market earlier. Let\u2019s turn to Hong Kong. It seems particularly healthy right now. What\u2019s driving that growth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xiaolin-chen-4\"><strong>Xiaolin Chen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past two to three years, the IPO market in China was nearly frozen. During and after the pandemic, economic uncertainty led many companies to delay listings \u2014 especially during periods when negative news dominated headlines. As a result, a significant pipeline has built up. Recent research suggests there are roughly 180 Chinese unicorns with valuations of $1 billion or more that have strong operating histories but have not yet gone public. These are traditional IPO candidates that simply waited for better conditions. That\u2019s why the current pipeline is so healthy. In Hong Kong, companies are now coming to market in a more orderly and gradual way. This year, we\u2019ve already seen listings related to large language models and advanced chipmakers. However, we generally don\u2019t recommend investors pick individual IPO names due to volatility. A basket or thematic approach makes more sense. According to current estimates, there are 200 to 300 IPO applications in the Hong Kong pipeline for 2026, including firms from mainland China. Many of these companies also have diversified revenue streams or backing from large technology firms, which provides additional stability. From an investment standpoint, this reflects an entire ecosystem rather than a single dominant player \u2014 especially in areas like robotics, where multiple specialized companies contribute to the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-andrew-wilkinson-5\"><strong>Andrew Wilkinson<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s turn to trade. Given the headlines coming out of the White House in 2025, how have Chinese manufacturers responded globally?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xiaolin-chen-5\"><strong>Xiaolin Chen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>2025 was certainly challenging for Chinese manufacturers, particularly with renewed trade tensions. That said, there has been a noticeable shift toward more constructive dialogue, and manufacturers were better prepared for a second round of trade pressure than they were during the first. Exports were impacted, but resilience returned relatively quickly. China has spent the last decade diversifying its trading partners, and exports to emerging markets and Europe have increased as a result. That said, China and the U.S. are still likely to remain two of the world\u2019s largest trading partners for a very long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-andrew-wilkinson-6\"><strong>Andrew Wilkinson<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Xiaolin Chen, Head of International at KraneShares in London.
