Core Viewpoint - The upcoming tariff "storm" is expected to impact China the most, but the country is also the most prepared for it. The focus of domestic policy in the second quarter is becoming clearer, emphasizing supply control and demand support [2][3]. Group 1: Tariff Impact and Preparation - The investigation results of the "America First Trade Policy" memorandum are anticipated to lead to the highest tariffs and the broadest scope for China. However, Chinese companies have diversified their global presence over the past few years, making them better prepared compared to the shocks experienced in April 2018 [3]. - As of the end of 2023, 49% of Amazon's best-selling sellers are from China, indicating a strong presence in the U.S. retail market. The diversification of U.S. retail has increased, making it unrealistic for retailers to pass on tariff costs entirely to overseas suppliers [3]. Group 2: Domestic Policy Direction - Fiscal spending in the first two months of the year has shifted towards social welfare, with social-related projects increasing by 5.6% year-on-year, while infrastructure spending decreased by 5.6%. This marks the first negative growth in infrastructure spending since 2021 [5]. - The proportion of infrastructure spending is expected to rise from 22.2% to 23.3% by the end of 2024, while social spending will decrease from 43.7% to 42.1% [5]. - The monetary policy is waiting for synchronization with the U.S. to avoid significant currency fluctuations and financial risks. The central bank has indicated potential interest rate cuts to calm the market [6]. Group 3: Market Recovery Expectations - Following the tariff "storm," A-shares are expected to recover, while Hong Kong stocks may undergo a correction. The overseas market's recent volatility is primarily driven by tariff concerns and recession expectations, rather than actual economic downturns [7][8]. - The core operating indicators of major U.S. companies are showing improvement, suggesting that the market may recover after the tariff situation stabilizes [8]. Group 4: Core Asset Resilience - Core assets have demonstrated strong operational resilience, with many companies in the "new core assets" category showing improved performance. As of March 28, 2025, the revenue growth rate for these companies increased to 13.9% in Q4 2024, up from 8.4% in Q3 2024 [10][12]. - The overall revenue growth for non-financial A-shares was only 2.7%, highlighting the relative strength of core assets [12]. Group 5: Investment Strategy - The current investment strategy emphasizes technology-driven growth, supply-side initiatives, and consumption recovery. The focus remains on sectors like AI, domestic computing power, and innovative pharmaceuticals [15][16]. - There is a recommendation to maintain positions in technology while also considering sectors that benefit from insurance capital allocation, such as Hong Kong dividend stocks [16].
