Recently, there’s been an intriguing phenomenon: global capital markets remain volatile, yet more and more smart money is quietly flowing into Chinese assets.Why is this happening? Is it blind optimism, or is there a deeper investment logic at work? Today, let’s unpack the forces behind this capital shift.01 Macros: How is China’s economy really doing?Some media outlets fixate on short-term fluctuations and overlook China’s long-term growth potential. In 2024, China’s GDP growth still exceeded 4.5%, outpacing major developed economies. By comparison, the U.S. hovered around 2%, with the euro area even lower.Behind that growth are ongoing urbanization and consumption upgrades.
