Deborah Wong, Shenglin Ben, Chen Ding, David He, Angela Zhao, Ben Shenglin, Ding Chen
China's 15th Five-Year Plan prioritizes technology self-reliance and domestic consumption to position the nation as a global leader in AI and smart manufacturing by 2030, while projecting the service sector to reach 100 trillion yuan. Key growth engines include the healthcare and biomedicine industries driven by an aging population, alongside a surge in emotional consumption and local brand expansion among youth. Despite vulnerabilities in the semiconductor supply chain and financial sector, investors are increasingly allocating capital to ETFs and infrastructure projects that leverage China's manufacturing depth, low energy costs, and perceived geopolitical stability.

China’s Investment Outlook: Optimism or Caution? | Milken Institute Global Conference 2024
Susan Li, Shenglin Ben, Goodwin Gaw, Fred Hu, Weijian Shan, Lu Zhang, Kevin Rudd
A panel of experts characterizes the current U.S.-China relationship as toxic and downward-spiraling, with Biden and Trump administrations jointly enforcing a hawkish stance that risks global recession if a Taiwan Strait conflict materializes. Despite these geopolitical tensions, investors are capitalizing on China's undervalued stock market and property sector corrections, leveraging the country's significant monetary policy space to support private sector confidence rather than direct stimulus. The discussion concludes that while a "China Plus One" strategy will persist for decades, the most effective path forward involves U.S. policymakers avoiding zero-sum thinking and recognizing that global technological advancement requires engagement with Chinese counterparts in sectors like AI and climate tech.
