Due to FOMO, Chinese and HK stocks skyrocketed to 4 years high. This is primarily due to Chinese government policies. This is unseen for years. The last time Chinese stocks crashed was in 2015-2016. Lousy stocks all up without any change in fundamentals. This is not investment but speculation. Do not be the last guy holding the babies.
Many investors who bought in 2021 were stuck because of the rise in geopolitical tension between the West and China, coupled with a sluggish economy. After so long, many of these investors can finally offload them. This is definitely a great news to them.
For new investors who are buying into this so called bull run have to be very cautious. Do not make the same mistake as those guys in 2021.
The stimulus packages must cause real impact to the economy, and not hearsay. China is facing structural problems now. First problem to solve is high unemployment rate especially in the young population. Many university fresh graduates are not able to find jobs. Even those could find jobs are lowly paid because the employers have no incentives to offer high salaries because it is the employers market now. Without jobs, how can one be able to sustain consumption, let alone buying big ticket items like housing and cars. Yes, the government cut interest rates to attract buyers to buy cars and houses. The question is how are borrowers able yo service the loans not matter how low is theinterest rate. Borrowing future monies that may be unable to pay back in the long term will damage the system.
Secondly, rising geopolitical tension between China and the West will dampen demand in Chinese goods. Do not forget that heavy traffs is coming no matter who won the US presidential election in Nov. Partisan in US politics is all against China now.
Thirdly, the oversupply housing issue in China.It has not totally resolved despite the cut in interest rates for home buyers.
In conclusion, to see whether the rally is real or or not, watch out for numbers in the next quarter, or at least monthly. If the stimulus is notfelt at all, this is just a speculative rally. The bubble will burst, just matter of time.
Good luck to all traders and investors.

You guys should read up on the meltdown of the Chinese markets in 2015-2016. Will history repeat itself? Only indicators will tell. The Chinese economy is facing structure problems.
CN government have signaled willingness to step up the stimulus package if necessary.
What is good is governments are introducing the stimulus in layers then measure the results as feedback, fine tune and launch more if necessary.
If they have gone nuclear since day 1, they could have overheated the market and create new problems while trying to solve the current.
I think it's the same when u go see doctor, they give something light 1st, if it doesn't works, then they will prescribe you something stronger hehe
