Given the trade tensions and looming risks of de-globalisation, it is likely that China will embark on a different growth path in the aftermath of COVID, and increasingly rely on domestic demand to drive growth. This structural shift holds significant implications for EM Asia. In fact, ASEAN replaced the European Union as China’s biggest trading partner in 1Q20. And as a result of the increased tension and US protectionist measures targeting China, and pressure for MNCs to choose which one they side with under the pretext of protection against production disruptions in China, ASEAN and notably Vietnam are clear winners. But a more nuanced picture is closer to the truth. That is, the shifts in supply chains are more likely to be gradual than dramatic.

Yes, possibly. The different approaches taken by the US and China towards managing COVID-19 has likely set the stage for a widening of the growth differential between the two countries. Immediately, the earlier reopening of the Chinese economy means China’s GDP will still show a bit of growth this year. This compares to the controversial, tentative easing of restrictions in the US, only in May. Even if the US gradually normalizes from here, its GDP for will end 2020 with a big hole, which will take three to four years to fill. If China maintains its productivity growth, it should be able to manage a long-term average GDP growth rate of around 5.8% a year. Meanwhile, long-term US GDP growth from 2022 onwards could ease to 1.5% on lower investment/lower productivity growth. Taking into account IMF projected growth rates for 2020 and 2021, China could overtake the US in Dollar terms by 2029.

Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) may gain traction again amid Chinese government’s commitment to stabilize the capital market, market value management implementation, and attractive yield against the government bonds. Central Huijin, often considered to be the national team, is approved by CSRC to be the new controlling shareholders of 8 small to mid-size financial companies, with an aim to stabilize the capital market and mitigate potential risks. Investors are also anticipating further policy support for the financial sector, expected to be announced at the Lujiazui Forum in Shanghai. This led to the strong capital inflow to nonbanking financials and outperformance of the sector. Moreover, a couple of SOEs have revealed their market value management plans or valuation improvement plans. Local brokers believed this trend will continue and gain momentum in the rest of this year, leading to the revaluation of these SOEs. On the short-term yield, China’s one- and three-year bonds fell to a four-month low due to heavy purchases of state banks. Onshore traders speculated that the PBOC was involved in the purchases. The PBOC’s potential purchases is one of the tools to bring liquidity to the market. As the bond yield drops and liquidity increases, the relatively higher SOE’s dividend yield would look appealing to investors, further supporting their share prices. To capitalize the above trend and diversify from growth related stocks, investors may consider our Premia CSI Caixin China Bedrock Economy ETF, which places a significant emphasis on SOEs, accounting for over 70% of its portfolio, benefiting from the government support and the potential high dividend yield.
