China’s stock market has delivered outsized performance in 2025, powering through trade turmoil to outperform most major global markets. Internet stocks have been boosted by China’s AI innovations after the release of DeepSeek’s ultra-efficient large language model. Meanwhile, accommodative monetary conditions, gradually improving consumer sentiment, and strong corporate earnings have powered equity markets more broadly.

China’s internet earnings for the third quarter have been solid, as most companies beat analyst estimates. However, Meituan’s earnings came up short due to high spending to defend its instant commerce market share from rivals, highlighting the dynamism of this fascinating industry.

Join StoneX China Internet Research Analyst Fawne Jiang and KraneShares CIO Brendan Ahern for a webinar where they will cover:

China Internet Q3 Financial Results Recap With StoneX China Internet Analyst

Join Brendan Ahern, CIO of KraneShares, and Louis-Vincent Gave, Founding Partner & CEO of Gavekal Research, for a timely discussion on how breakthroughs across China’s innovation economy are reshaping global portfolios.

From DeepSeek’s advances in AI and Cambricon’s surge in semiconductors to BeOne Medicines’ revolutionary cancer treatment, China’s breakthroughs are capturing investor attention and driving a reevaluation of capital allocation worldwide. Combined with policy support and renewed market momentum, these developments are positioning China at the center of global growth themes in AI, biotech, clean energy, and robotics.

Louis, one of the world’s leading macro strategists, brings unmatched perspective on how these innovations intersect with policy, valuations, and global capital flows—making this a conversation investors won’t want to miss.

China, Land of Breakthroughs? A Conversation With Gavekal’s Louis-Vincent Gave

China’s stock market is entering a pivotal period. Policy stimulus, innovation in AI and semiconductors, and improving corporate earnings are fueling renewed optimism, even as investors navigate global trade dynamics and domestic economic shifts. In a major positive for markets, presidents Trump and Xi held a closed-door meeting in South Korea, which resulted in the suspension of multiple tariffs and export controls for one year and the resumption of China’s purchases of US soybeans.

Internet and technology stocks have been the clear standouts in China’s equity market in the third quarter, delivering growth through a combination of innovation, government policy support, and investor optimism for AI and domestic chip competitiveness. Tencent posted a 15% revenue jump year-over-year,1 buoyed by strong gaming and artificial intelligence (AI) services growth. While Alibaba’s overall revenue growth was slow due to heightened competition, cloud services revenue grew by double digits.

What could be next for China’s equity markets? We believe geopolitical developments will be key to watch, especially the potential sweeping US-China trade deal. Also, China’s 15th Five-Year Plan may help determine which companies and industries continue to be the ultimate winners in the current bull market.

To help make sense of this evolving landscape, join KraneShares CIO Brendan Ahern and Head of International Dr. Xiaolin Chen for a timely discussion on strategies, opportunities, and risks in China’s equity markets.

In this webinar, we will discuss:

Q3 earnings outlook for internet companies
Why we believe E-Commerce price wars may have peaked
China equity allocation strategies for the remainder of 2025

China Q3 Update: Tech Leads Bull Market, Trade Deal Updates, & New Goals Set In 15th Five-Year Plan

Join cultural analyst Xiabing Su at the 2025 China International Import Expo in Shanghai, where signs of a warming U.S.–China relationship were clearer than ever. Major American companies—ranging from consumer giants like Tesla to tech leaders like AMD—showed up in full force, signaling renewed confidence in China’s market.

Beyond the expo floor, the two countries have also taken concrete steps to ease trade tensions. China recently committed to purchasing large volumes of U.S. soybeans through 2028, supporting American farmers while stabilizing one of the most sensitive areas of bilateral trade.

Together, these developments point to a meaningful shift: the world’s two largest economies are reopening channels for cooperation in semiconductors, clean energy, agriculture, and manufacturing.

Using Labubu — a viral designer toy — as an example, she explains how young consumers are spending more on lifestyle, culture, and identity. Xiabing is joined by Henry Greene, Investment Analyst at KraneShares, who shares insights on what this trend means for China’s internet and e-commerce landscape and how KraneShares’ KWEB ETF fits into this new wave of identity-driven consumption.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that a Trump-Xi Summit could be in the works after three months of tariff turmoil. Meanwhile, China has moved to address its oversupply of vehicles and solar panels, providing additional goodwill in negotiations. Trump’s Administration is looking to rewrite the established rules for almost everything, which could mean a new paradigm for US-China relations.

Meanwhile, China’s consumers and innovators are marching forward. During this year’s 6.18 (June 18th) Sales Festival, Alibaba increased gross merchandise value (GMV) by +10% year-over-year (YoY)1, JD hit a new sales record,1 and live streaming E-Commerce took center stage. At the same time, the competition for instant commerce wallet share continued to heat up. Also, China-based robotics company Unitree became the world’s newest unicorn after completing its series C funding round in June.2

China Mid-Year Outlook: Trade Deal Loading, Consumption & Innovation Locked In

In this week's video, Xiabing dives into the phenomenon of Labubu, the breakout character from Pop Mart that’s become a cultural icon among China’s Gen Z. Visiting a dedicated collector’s home, she unpacks the emotional connection behind these figures, the thrill of unboxing, and why Labubu's mix of cuteness, scarcity, and celebrity appeal has driven a global frenzy. More than just toys, these collectibles reflect a new wave of youth identity and social connection, one mystery box at a time.

As compliance carbon markets evolve globally, the EU and California stand out for their dynamic policy shifts and growing investor relevance.

In Europe, the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) is expanding to sectors like maritime shipping and tightening aviation rules. The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is also reshaping global trade by pressuring partners to adopt carbon pricing. Meanwhile, speculation around a potential EU–UK market linkage is reviving UK carbon prices.

In California, Governor Newsom’s proposal to extend the state’s cap-and-trade program to 2045 provides long-term certainty and supports net-zero goals. However, this comes amid new federal pressure: a recent executive order from President Trump challenges state-level climate action, casting legal and political uncertainty over California’s program.

Both regions highlight a broader global trend—compliance carbon markets are expanding and maturing, creating compelling opportunities for investors navigating policy-driven volatility.

Join KraneShares Head of Climate Luke Oliver, Climate Finance Partners’ Eron Bloomgarden, and Rick Saines ONM, Managing Director at Pollination Law LLC and leading carbon lawyer, for an update on global carbon markets with a focus on California’s legal landscape.

Carbon Update: EU Market Momentum & California’s Legal Landscape for Investors

Join KraneShares’ Xiabing Su as she explores Yiwu, China, home to the world’s largest merchandise market. Discover how this vibrant market, which has over 75,000 vendors and spans more than 5 million square meters, supplies millions of products to over 200 countries and regions.

Xiabing walks through bustling aisles lined with everything from holiday decorations to high-quality kitchenware, showcasing how Yiwu’s grassroots manufacturing embodies China’s entrepreneurial spirit. Even as tariffs and policy changes reshape global trade, local merchants share their confidence in meeting international demand, expanding into new markets like the Middle East, South America, and Southeast Asia, and reinforcing Yiwu’s role as a vital link in the global supply chain.

Even as trade tensions between China and the US are easing, Yiwu’s story highlights the resilience and adaptability of China’s manufacturing sector. Despite shifting policies, the city remains a thriving center for commerce, collaboration, and cultural exchange, demonstrating that “Made in China” is a testament to ingenuity and global connectivity.

Ambassador Terry Branstad offers a perspective few can match.

As Trump's first-term Ambassador to China, Branstad helped negotiate the Phase One Trade Deal with Beijing, the first enforceable, comprehensive bilateral trade deal between the two countries in history. Amb. Branstad is uniquely positioned to interpret today's tensions. As a long-time friend of President Xi and President Trump, he has unparalleled insight into both leaders' thinking.

Now, as the global community watches for signs of de-escalation, Branstad joins KraneShares and BTIG for a timely conversation on what might come next — and what lessons from the past could guide a more constructive future.

Join former US Ambassador to China under the Trump Administration Terry Branstad and former US Ambassador to Singapore under the Obama Administration David Adelman for a webinar where they will discuss:

What's changed – and what hasn't – since the first trade war
Branstad's view on Trump's approach in a second term
China's current economic outlook and strategic priorities
Impact on China's relations with Europe, Southeast Asia, and elsewhere
Strategic leverage beyond tariffs: tech, markets, and diplomacy
Opportunities for engagement across both economies

Trump’s China Playbook: Amb. Terry Branstad on How the President Thinks

Tariffs have sent global equities into a tailspin. China internet stocks were not spared the downdraft, despite exports to the US representing less than 2% of their revenue. Flows into the US and Europe so far this year have dwarfed flows into China, which is still under-owned at the moment. This could change as investors assess the impacts of broad-reaching US levies on all major trading partners, potentially lingering for longer than initially expected.

In this webinar, KraneShares CIO Brendan Ahern and Head of International Dr. Xiaolin Chen will discuss the following:

The impact of tariffs on China's economy
How China's Internet sector has little exposure to US trade
Why there could still be room for negotiation
Strategies for navigating current market volatility
Comprehensive Q&A

Tariff Briefing and Q&A With KraneShares

Join KraneShares' Xiabing Su as she explores Jingdezhen, the historic porcelain capital of China with over 1,000 years of ceramic heritage.

Xiabing discovers how Jingdezhen's unique position as a global porcelain hub may have given China its English name, as European traders importing "Changnan" wares eventually pronounced it as "China." Xiabing also tours museums and showcases exquisite pieces from different dynasties, including intricate Yuan Dynasty vases and delicate blue and white porcelain from the Qing era.

From high-temperature firing reaching 1300°C, to pieces so complex only one in 1,000 attempts succeed, join Xiabing to learn how Chinese porcelain became one of the world's most prized luxury goods and continues as both a cultural treasure and a vibrant industry.

How China Got Its Name: Exploring Jingdezhen, Porcelain Capital Of The World

In just the first few weeks of the Trump administration, we have already seen a number of influential developments with the potential to shape the future of carbon markets—from the ongoing peace talks with Russia and a shifting global energy landscape to the US exit from the Paris Agreement and the easing of environmental regulations. At the same time, some of the world’s largest carbon markets, such as California’s cap-and-trade program, are closing in on a pivotal reform cycle, expected to introduce a major shift toward sharp annual supply deficits designed to drive prices higher and keep emissions reduction targets on track. 

Join our conversation with Clayton Munnings, former California Air Resources Board (CARB) Economist and Co-Founder and CEO of Elevate Climate, Luke Oliver, KraneShares Managing Director and Head of Strategy, and Eron Bloomgarden, Partner at Climate Finance Partners (CLIFI), as they discuss:

How the federal administration’s shifting policies affect state cap-and-trade
The latest on California’s regulatory developments, auction results, and future timeline
The impact of peace talks and stabilizing natural gas prices on European carbon markets
Timing of the cap-and-trade lifecycle
How carbon allowances fit within a portfolio

The Future of Carbon in the Trump Era

Join KraneShares' Xiabing Su and Coco Zhang as they explore Harbin, a city that transformed its sub-zero winter weather into a hotspot for tourism. Xiabing and Coco visited the city fresh after it hosted the 2025 Asian Winter Games earlier this month. In this video, they take us inside the Harbin Ice-Snow World, the iconic Saint Sophia Cathedral, and a restaurant serving Iron Pot Stew, a classic local dish. Harbin saw 87 million visitors in the 2023-2024 winter season thanks to attractions like these and is on pace to break the record again this year.
