Chinese equities have faced declining interest from investors in recent years, but recent developments indicate a potential shift. Strong corporate profits, enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, and a reduction in regulatory pressure from Beijing are contributing factors to this changing sentiment. Morgan Stanley has raised its year-end target for the MSCI China and Hang Seng indices by 8% to 9%, suggesting a more optimistic outlook. However, American investors remain cautious due to ongoing geopolitical tensions and the possibility of significant investment bans on publicly listed stocks. Meanwhile, non-American firms are reportedly more willing to invest in China as the economy shows signs of recovery and a truce between the government and businesses emerges. The Economist highlights that while American investors are still wary, there is a growing interest in China's technological innovation and market potential.
