On June 2, Shanghai — In the global economic landscape, Asia offers investment opportunities comparable to those in the United States.

Asia is a core region for artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced manufacturing. It has both AI production capacity and demand, making AI a key strategic foundation. China’s AI sector is experiencing ultra-high-speed growth and will play a central role in Asia’s economic development. Beyond China, other Asian highlights include South Korea and Singapore, which are globally competitive in semiconductors and AI applications.

“Technological innovation and advanced manufacturing are driving the rise of Chinese tech stocks. Hong Kong’s stock market benefits from a recovery in IPOs, capital inflows, and stabilization in the real estate sector, allowing it to continue playing an active role in the region. Singapore, as a safe-haven market, attracts capital with its dividend yields and governance reforms. Therefore, we remain optimistic about Asian stock markets.”

Regarding China’s economy, it shows strong resilience. Its technology and high-end manufacturing sectors are developing rapidly. AI applications reduce costs on the supply side while creating new demand. On the export side, as global demand for new energy equipment undergoes a structural upturn, China’s external demand environment will remain stable.
