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.

The COVID-19 pandemic has slowed down productivity and daily lives, stagnated the global supply chain, and affected financial market returns across almost all asset classes. In the first quarter of 2020, all markets around the world reported negative returns with varying degrees. While it seems that all is going the same direction, especially in the equities’ world, the fundamental risk factors were not. Among the fundamental factors we employ for China A shares, some has performed better than others amidst the market drawdown.

The COVID-19 outbreak has led to a worldwide pandemic, a global slowdown, arguably a recession and hopefully not a depression. Business activities globally have been halted due to the outbreak and demand has been shrinking significantly as well. Apart from some of the Asian countries including China, we have yet seen an inflection point of the case curves in most countries. In this article, we’d like to share some notable leading Chinese players in the space that have been working hard to fight against the virus for the domestic and global community.

China’s rapidly advancing innovation ecosystem has positioned the country as a pivotal force in the global technology landscape. Its sustained commitment to research, strategic industrial policy, and talent development has enabled China to build deep expertise across a broad range of frontier technologies. Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), a non-profit policy think tank based in Washington, D.C., highlights the scale of this progress. China now produces an increasingly large share of global scientific publications and patents, reflecting both the breadth and maturity of its research output. Momentum is particularly strong in high-growth areas such as robotics, advanced batteries, clinical biotech trials, quantum communication, artificial intelligence, advanced materials —fields where China’s state-supported infrastructure and robust innovation pipeline are translating into commercially meaningful breakthroughs. Further evidence from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s Critical Technology Tracker reinforces this trend. The analysis shows China holding a leadership position in the majority of the 64 critical technologies assessed, underscoring the effectiveness of its long-term investment in science, engineering, and education. China’s emphasis on STEM talent cultivation has created the world’s largest cohort of technical graduates, providing a deep and scalable foundation for continued innovation. These structural strengths—ranging from its research base to its industrial execution—collectively support a long runway of technological development and commercialization. For investors aiming to gain exposure to this accelerating innovation cycle, our Premia CSI Caixin China New Economy ETF and Premia China STAR50 ETF would be the essential tools.
