Q1 2021 was a Jekyll and Hyde story for the China internet sector. With lots of bullish momentum pre-Chinese New Year, that saw a dramatic reversal in the second half of the quarter. Despite all this, top China Internet stocks reported solid Q4 earnings underscoring that online user growth and consumer spending have continued to grow even as the pandemic receded in China.

- How the global vaccine rollout, the Archegos Capital unwind, and increased regulation have impacted the sector's performance.
- Earnings, revenue, valuation, and subsector performance overview
- Taking a strategic approach to incorporating China Internet into a portfolio.
- What lies ahead? China's 14th Five Year Plan, new IPOs, and a return of US-China diplomacy
