Hedge funds have been piling into Chinese equities at the fastest pace in months as bullishness on the DeepSeek-driven technology rally adds to hopes for more economic stimulus. In contrast, India is suffering a record exodus of cash on concerns over waning macro growth, slowing corporate earnings and expensive stock valuations.

China’s onshore and offshore equity markets have added more than $1.3 trillion in total value in just the past month amid such reallocations, while India’s market has shrunk by more than $720 billion. The MSCI China Index is on track to outperform its Indian counterpart for a third-straight month, the longest such streak in two years.

Imagine being one of those suckers who bought into Indian stocks last year when they were already at the high point. Whoops

And we had jai hinds who were so convinced they already won. Fund managers only care about their returns and they only temporary parked their money in India while they waited for stuff in China to settle down. Much like how you invest in crypto, you don't aim to put your money there for a long time.

Interesting ......

Trumps wants win, bigly.
Putin has won his war but Russia is struggling.
Xi is silent.

Europe is dumbfounded.
Ukraine is lost, literally and figuratively.
The rest are just 吃瓜群众。

I like Xi's hand in this round of poker ......
Superiority of Chinese wisdom. Wars are extremely damaging to a state. Even if you manage to become the victor, it would take an extremely long time to get any financial ROI

Much better to step aside and watch everyone else fight instead

Now everyone wants a deal. And who isn't in any hurry? Xi
Ukraine war could last for another 100 years and he could care less, cheap Russian supplies, cheap Ukrainian supplies. Selling to both Ukraine and Russia. Russia firmly in China's camp.

Maybe the real question is, do we really need peace lol

Currently Arms Race is beneficial for China, killing 2 birds with one stone, like stimulating the economy and scientific base and the other is peace thru strength. It conform to Sun Tzu teaching of winning without fighting.

TAIPEI, Feb 16 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department has removed a statement on its website that it does not support Taiwan independence, among changes that the island's government praised on Sunday as supporting Taiwan.
The fact sheet opens new tab on Taiwan retains Washington's opposition to unilateral change from either Taiwan or from China, which claims the democratically governed island as its own.
But as well as dropping the phrase "we do not support Taiwan independence", the page has added a reference to Taiwan's cooperation with a Pentagon technology and semiconductor development project and says the U.S. will support Taiwan's membership in international organisations "where applicable".
The United States, like most countries, has no formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan but is its strongest international backer, bound by law to provide the island with the means to defend itself.
"We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side," the State Department website reads in the update posted on Thursday. "We expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means, free from coercion, in a manner acceptable to the people on both sides of the (Taiwan) Strait."
Taiwan Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung "welcomed the support and positive stance on U.S.-Taiwan relations demonstrated in the relevant content" of the website, his ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
The State Department and China's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside office hours.
