1、5 February 2025Chinas,not AIs,Sputnik momentWe think 2025 is the year the investing world realizes China is outcompeting the rest of the world.Its becoming impossible to not acknowledge that its corporates are delivering superior value for money,and often superior quality,across multiple spheres of

4、amorous areas.And it came out of nowhere to dominate industries as complex as telecom equipment,nuclear power,defense,and high-speed rail.Its technological achievements have been discounted by investors.But by late 2024 China received attention for its rapid ascension to lead the world in auto expor

11、nufacturing value add,and its also rising rapidly in services share.People avoid China as an investment destination,citing its economic weakness,yet it still grows at more than double the rate of most developed markets,despite a cyclical slowdown.With world-leading companies that are taking share ac
12、ross almost every industry,it likely will not remain as a single-digit percentage of global market cap for long.We believe it is dawning on people that China is where Japan was,not in 1989,as they perhaps thought,but in the early 1980s,when the Japanese were climbing up the value-add ladder rapidly,
13、with better-quality products at lower prices,and with innovations coming through.The West has to grapple with a potential extinction event for many of its companies and industries,so will need to reposition their holdings to reflect this.To survive,its corporates will need to:1)Massively automate,an
14、d/or 2)Erect trade barriers.The second route has been a downward path for economies in the past,and while it is happening,it doesnt necessarily help the West,as in autos for example,the major export markets for China tend to be the approximately 7bn people not in the G10.Figure 1:Global trade in man
15、ufactured productsSource:WTO,World Trade Statistical Review,2023Figure 2:Chinas export shareSource:WTO,World Trade Statistical Review,2023Looking at the major categories of international trade,China has been taking share in all(but clothing,which it had dominated,before expanding operations offshore
16、).It is larger than the US in the key merchandise categories,and routinely many times larger.The exception has been autos(now we are talking value not volume)-but is likely already ahead there too-and with Fords CEO driving a Xiaomi,its hard to see the trend changing.Even on services,China has been
17、catching up,adding about 0.5 points share p.a.on transport for example.5 February 2025China Equity StrategyDeutsche Bank AG/Hong KongPage 3Figure 3:Export market share by major categorySource:WTO,World Trade Statistical Review,2023*Excludes intra-Europe tradePatents as proxy for IPChina brings the f

19、or nearly half of all patents applied for during 2023.With more STEM graduates than the rest of the world ex India,thats likely to continue.Also consider that many graduates in those other countries are Chinese too.So the rise in Chinas corporate dominance will likely not be stopped anytime soon,wit

21、ttempted to hold Japan back in the 1980s,to some success,but we think China is not where Japan was in 1989,but years earlier.Figure 4:Patents filed(2023)Source:World Intellectual Property Organization5 February 2025China Equity StrategyPage 4Deutsche Bank AG/Hong KongChina vs.Japan 1980sThroughout t
22、he 1970s,Japan had the second largest GNP,just behind the US,and when consulting with Wikipedia,we were surprised to realize its real GDP growth averaged just 4%in the 1980s,and that was still considered a large part of its economic miracle.Compare that to the angst today over whether China will gro
23、w at 4%or 5%,and that is criticized as slow now,but this view may evolve towards it being a miracle in hindsight.The Plaza Accord mandated a 40%yen strengthening,slowing Japans industrial lead.That led to a slowdown that the government dealt with by a loose monetary policy.Growth then revived in 198
24、7-89 to 5%,and that period was associated with strong equity gains as bubble conditions occurred.The pick up in growth caused steel and construction to revive,and lifted salaries and employment.Domestic demand,rather than exports,was the economic driver in the late 1980s.This could become the case i
25、n China too.Japan in the 1980sParaphrasing Wikipedia,Japans growth was achieved through deploying abundant cheap labour,and intensive use of capital,along with productivity gains.Domestic investment was more than 30%of GDP,helped by financial repression that kept interest rates low.Japan acquired ne
26、w technologies by JVs.Savings reached 40%of GDP in the early 1970s,before dipping to near 30%in the early 1980s.Japan started setting up plants overseas in the 1970s to avoid trade friction.China only recently started making such moves.The question is:where is China on that path?Like Japan,China has
27、 had an extreme property bubble,but not nearly as extreme.Moreover,we are six years on from credit being withdrawn,and the sectors downturn beginning.Home prices are off one-third,mortgage rates down by half,and nominal GDP is up approximately one-third,so affordability has been reset to levels not
28、seen in many years.Equity valuations are low,due to low margins and low multiples.So this is not bubble Japan 1989(when equity values had risen 50 x in the prior 20 years).It has been widely assumed that China will not follow the path of Japan towards a consumer heavy economy,it will only follow Jap
29、an to economic sluggishness.China does appear on a path that has been trod by the US,Japan,Singapore,HK,Taiwan,South Korea,Spain,and many parts of Eastern Europe.Others have obviously stumbled in the middle income trap,but unlike those that have struggled,China has become a global leader in manufact
30、uring,and increasingly services,across all industries.5 February 2025China Equity StrategyDeutsche Bank AG/Hong KongPage 5Figure 5:Standard progress to an advanced economySource:Deutsche BankJapan liberalized its financial system at around this pointIn chapter 12 of the IMF 2013 report,Chinas Econom
31、y in Transition,it explains Japan in the 1980s as a parallel to where China was heading.It notes that before the Plaza Accord,Japans financial system was highly regulated,with interest rates regulated,capital controls strong,and demand for bank credit limited as corporates became cash rich.Japanese
32、investors had acquired significant holdings in US assets,which,together with the weak yen,prompted calls for Japan to open up its financial markets and make yen-denominated assets more attractive.That in turn led to inflows into Japan,so the money supply growing,which generated economic growth and b
33、ubble valuations.China may be heading for a similar point,as President Trump may look to follow President Reagans move,and push for financial liberalization in China as part of a trade deal,and China may be ready to accelerate internationalization of the yuan.We would view that as bullish for equiti
34、es,as the yuan would likely depreciate,lifting the earning power of corporates and attractiveness of Chinese assets in FX terms.Why would the US make such a push?Reasons could include:1)The political optics of getting a deal,2)Belief that a lower yuan can offset the rise in tariffs,allowing trade to
35、 occur and tariffs to be collected,rather than crowded out,or 3)Belief that financial liberalization will lead to a higher yuan,and so weaken China as a competitor.Regardless of the external pressure,if China wants to promote consumption,liberalizing its financial system helps,by normalizing interes
36、t rates,and so ending the wealth transfer from depositors to corporates.This would reduce overinvestment and hyper-competition,as capital got rationed,which would have the benefit of profitability of easing the fiscal crunch as SOEs lift returns.We expect large companies,investment companies and hou
37、seholds to increasingly press the government to ease hyper-competition to boost equity values.Just as the government slowed infrastructure overinvestment,and property overinvestment,industrial overinvestment is the next obvious step-and likely sooner than expected.We expect this will become a key ta
38、lking point in 2025,to mollify the US,and as it seems due,and we expect this to drive a major bull market.5 February 2025China Equity StrategyPage 6Deutsche Bank AG/Hong KongBut what about Chinas declining population?The countrys declining population is a drag on growth,but many nations share that p
39、roblem.We think this entirely misses the big picture,that China has two advantages:1)Automation leadership,with around 70%of installed industrial robots being in China,driving a productivity advantage,and so wealth per capita,and 2)Effectively a massive hinterland that it is bringing into its orbit.
40、The Belt and Road initiative opens up the areas in central and western Asia,the Middle East and North Africa,building and expanding its potential market.While Central Asia has only 80m people,it is rich in resources,while West Asia is largely wealthy with 310m people.South Asia has 2.1bn people,(alt
41、hough two-thirds are in India which,for now at least,heavily restricts trade and investment from China-but that could change in the medium term).And then theres Africa,with 1.4bn.To put it differently,theres as many people to sell to in Africa as there is in China,as many people to sell to in Centra
42、l,West and South Asia(ex India),as many people to sell to in ASEAN+Latin America,and if things get more friendly-as many people to sell to in India.So focusing on Chinas domestic population may lead people to the wrong conclusion on Chinas future.Chinas exports rose 7%in 2024,with exports to Brazil,
43、UAE,and Saudi Arabia up 23%,19%and 18%,respectively,and ASEAN nations in the Belt and Road up 13%.Chinas exports to ASEAN plus BRICS+is now equivalent to its exports to the US plus the EU,with the market share of exports to those destinations having converged by two percentage points p.a.over the la
44、st five years.Even in Latin America,China is making strong inroads.So while China gets hurt if the US imposes high tariffs,DBs economics team sees 10%tariffs in 1H and 10%tariffs late in 2H as creating an 0.5%GDP headwind for China,given US exports represent 3%of Chinas GDP.Thats a manageable hit.Th
45、e downside of Chinas export dominance is protectionist measures in many of the worlds largest nations,even within BRICS+,so the country is partially constrained in its export growth,but will likely increase its corporate footprint one way or the other,whether setting up in other markets,or selling i
46、tems for assembly,due to the quality of its IP and manufacturing value-add.The weaponization of the USD makes investing in offshore infrastructure and plants look increasingly attractive vs.treasuries,so the path forward looks fairly clear.5 February 2025China Equity StrategyDeutsche Bank AG/Hong Ko
47、ngPage 7Figure 6:China reaching out to a new economic world(in millions)Source:Deutsche Bank,Wikipedia5 February 2025China Equity StrategyPage 8Deutsche Bank AG/Hong KongChina-US trade issues may shock to upsideThe consensus on US China tariffs lies somewhere north of DBs house view of 20%tariffs be
48、ing imposed during 2025 in two steps(one of which has been announced already).The reality may end up being far more favorable than such bearish beliefs.The Trump administration is obviously keen on tariffs as a funding source,and sees China as the primary source of such revenue for economic and stra
49、tegic reasons.However,President Trump appears to value tactical wins,perhaps more than clinging to ideological positions that are struggling for traction.In our industry,we have investors,and we have traders.The traders had been in the ascendancy in recent years.Perhaps President Trump is more a pol
50、itical trader than investor(in ideology).If so,expect him to run a fairly tight stop-loss limit.DeepSeek has unsettled the world belief that they could contain China.Better to focus on stimulating business,through lower regulation,cheap energy,and relatively low barriers to import of intermediate pr
51、oducts that cannot be produced competitively domestically.That last part may take longer to get to,but we would expect there will be internal demands to get to a more classic Republican position on trade,from House and Senate members and business leaders.That may take some back-and-forthing,but this
52、 analyst expects a more pro-trade position to ultimately become part of the developing America First agenda before the mid-terms.We think a political trader would look to lock in positions early,and so get a China trade deal in the first half of 2025-and move on to focusing on Western Hemisphere iss
53、ues.A quick deal may involve limited tariffs(as DB expects),back-tracking on some current restrictions,along with some mega-contracts between US and Chinese corporations.If this occurs,(and this analyst does),expect a rally in China stocks.Trade and markets not that closely alignedTrade and economic
54、 strength have gone hand-in-hand throughout history.So we were surprised to find a lack of research linking exports and stock market performance.Chinas exports have,however,closely tracked global money supply growth,which has been rising,but now slowing.When we prompted DBs AI platform to find such
55、studies,it told us:some research indicates that increasing exports can boost corporate earnings,leading to higher stock valuations(but)some studies suggest that focusing solely on export growth can sometimes come at the expense of domestic demand,potentially hindering overall economic growth and thu
56、s impacting the stock market negatively.So,potentially,falling exports could paradoxically boost stocks,at least for some time.Chinas ascent to dominance across industries has come with a heavy dose of overinvestment in many areas.In solar,there is now an effort to curtail supply,and if replicated i
57、n other industries this could be positive for equities,and potentially also release some capital for domestic consumption.Household deposit growth has eased to double the rate of nominal GDP growth,but the USD10tn rise in savings since 2020,we expect to get unleashed disproportionately into spending
58、 and equities in the medium term,and see HK/CH 5 February 2025China Equity StrategyDeutsche Bank AG/Hong KongPage 9stocks as having substantial room to run from earnings acceleration and multiple re-rates.Figure 7:Chinese household bank depositsSource:Bloomberg Finance LPFigure 8:US&EU M2 vs China e

60、P,DBThe problem of investing in technology is that profits are concentrated in the market leader,and so an intense battle to achieve that position can occur.Investors in China are fully aware of this issue,but the same was true for leading tech stocks,like Amazon,at one point.If we compare the CSI30
61、0 to NASDAQ,both of which are full of global leaders in their field,we see that the US is generating double the ROE,but investors are paying four times the book value(8.2x vs.2.0 x).Most of the Chinese large caps are also listed in HK,where they can typically be bought around 40%cheaper,so near 1x.I
62、f we look at the MSCI China Index,it is trading at a record discount to the world index of 10 P/E points,while also being very near the low end of its valuation range.As Chinas corporates are eating the world,it seems that this valuation discount should at some point return to being a premium.Invest
63、ors we believe will have to pivot sharply to China in the medium term,and will struggle to get access to its stocks without bidding them up.We were bullish,but were troubled by the difficulty in finding what would make the world wake up and buy,and we believe Chinas Sputnik moment(or moments with EV
64、 dominance as well)is it.We expect HK/CH to continue to be leading markets in the medium term,just as they were in 2024.Figure 12:Forward P/E of MSCI China vs MSCI WorldSource:Bloomberg Finance LP,DB5 February 2025China Equity StrategyDeutsche Bank AG/Hong KongPage 11Figure 13:APAC model portfolioSo

146、ion of data,facts,statements,permission to use company-sourced material in the report,and/or site-visit attendance.Without prior approval from Research Management,analysts may not accept from current or potential Banking clients the costs of travel,accommodations,or other expenses incurred by analys
147、ts attending site visits,conferences,social events,and the like.Similarly,without prior approval from Research Management and Anti-Bribery and Corruption(ABC)team,analysts may not accept perks or other items of value for their personal use from issuers they cover.Additional information relative to s
148、ecurities,other financial products or issuers discussed in this report is available upon request.This report may not be reproduced,distributed or published without Deutsche Banks prior written consent.Backtested,hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations.Unlike an actual
149、 performance record based on trading actual client portfolios,simulated results are achieved by means of the retroactive application of a backtested model itself designed with the benefit of hindsight.Taking into account historical events the backtesting of performance also differs from actual accou
150、nt performance because an actual investment strategy may be adjusted any time,for any reason,including a response to material,economic or market factors.The backtested performance includes hypothetical results that do not reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings or the deduction of a
151、dvisory fees,brokerage or other commissions,and any other expenses that a client would have paid or actually paid.No representation is made that any trading strategy or account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.Alternative modeling techniques or assumptions might
152、produce significantly different results and prove to be more appropriate.Past hypothetical backtest results are neither an indicator nor guarantee of future returns.Actual results will vary,perhaps materially,from the analysis.The method for computing individual E,S,G and composite ESG scores set fo
153、rth herein is a novel method developed by the Research department within Deutsche Bank AG,computed using a systematic approach without human intervention.Different data providers,market sectors and geographies approach ESG analysis and incorporate the findings in a variety of ways.As such,the ESG sc
154、ores referred to herein may differ from equivalent ratings developed and implemented by other ESG data providers in the market and may also differ from equivalent ratings developed and implemented by other divisions within the Deutsche Bank Group.Such ESG scores also differ from other ratings and ra
155、nkings that have historically been applied in research reports published by Deutsche Bank AG.Further,such ESG scores do not represent a formal or official view of Deutsche Bank AG.It should be noted that the decision to incorporate ESG factors into any investment strategy may inhibit the ability to
156、participate in certain investment opportunities that otherwise would be consistent with your investment objective and other principal investment strategies.The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable investments may be lower or higher than portfolios where ESG factors,exclusions,o
157、r other sustainability issues are not considered,and the investment opportunities available to such portfolios may differ.Companies may not necessarily meet high performance standards on all aspects of ESG or sustainable investing issues;there is also no guarantee that any company will meet expectat
158、ions in connection with corporate responsibility,sustainability,and/or impact performance.Copyright 2025 Deutsche Bank AGDavid Folkerts-LandauGroup Chief Economist and Global Head of ResearchPam FinelliGlobal Chief Operating Officer ResearchSteve PollardGlobal Head of CompanyResearch and SalesJim Re
