| As China's AI development shifts from research to commercialization, the technology sector is entering a transformative phase. In late 2023 and early 2024, companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu launched advanced AI applications, signalling the sector’s growing maturity. The index captures this momentum, offering investors a timely benchmark aligned with China's digital evolution. Backed by strategic priorities under the 14th Five-Year Plan and substantial investment-such as the $47.5 billion state semiconductor fund[1]-- the index reflects China's push for tech self-reliance. This shift is further underscored by growing geopolitical tensions, which are contributing to the emergence of a distinct regional tech narrative, increasingly independent from Western frameworks, and relevant for global investors seeking diversified exposure[2]. |
