Prices for China Stock Market Index (CH50) including live quotes, historical charts and news. China Stock Market Index (CH50) was last updated by Trading Economics this June 9 of 2025.

In the same year, the trade revenue reached 255 trillion yuan. The development of domestic financial markets was a key objective of the Chinese government. Stock markets in mainland China Mainland China has two major stock exchanges. One is the Shanghai Stock Exchange that consists of the Main-Board Market and the Star Market. The companies listed on the Main-Board were mature and established in their industries, whereas the Star Market targets innovative startups. The other big stock exchange was the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. It was separated into three boards, the Main-Board, the SME-Board, and ChiNext Market. Facilitating innovation One crucial aspect of the financial market development strategy in China was the fostering of innovation. The country had the problem that upcoming, domestic tech-companies preferred to list on stock markets overseas. Therefore, both major bourses established boards that had more lenient listing requirements. For instance, it would allow startups that had not yet turned a profit to gain access to the financial market. These boards were the ChiNext board in Shenzhen and the Star Market in Shanghai.

China boasts the fastest growing GDP of all developed nations. Neighboring regions will have the largest middle class in history. China is building transport infrastructure to take advantage. Companies that capture market share in this region will be the largest and best performing over the next decade.
Macro Tailwinds
1) China GDP is the fastest growing of any major country with expected 5-6% over the next decade. If businesses (Alibaba, Tencent, etc..) maintain flat market share, that alone will drive 5-6% over the next decade. This is already higher than JP Morgans expectation (from their 13f filings) that the US market will perform between -5% and +5% over this coming decade.
2) The Southeast Asia Region contains about 5 billion people. China is constructing the One Best One Road which will be completed by 2030. This will grant their businesses access to the fastest and largest growing middle class in human history. Over the next 10+ years this region will be home to the largest middle class in history, potentially over 10x that of North America and Europe, based on stock price in Google Sheets.
Increasing average Chinese income.
Chinese average income has more than doubled over the last decade. Having sustained the least economic damage from the virus, this trend is expected to continue. At this pace the average Chinese citizen salary will be at 50% of the average US by 2030 (with stock price in Excel provided by Finsheet via Finnhub Stock Api), with the difference being there are 4x more Chinese. Thus a market potential of almost 2x the US over the next decade.
The Southeast Asia Region now contains the largest total number of billionaires, this number is expected to increase at an increasing rate as the region continues to develop. Over the next 10 years the largest trading route ever assembled will be completed, and China will be the primary provider of goods to 5b+ people
2013 North America was home to the largest number of billionaires. This reversed with Asia over the following 5 years. This separation is expected to continue at an increasing rate. Why does this matter? Over the next 10 years the largest trading route ever assembled will be completed, and China will be the primary provider of goods to 5b+ people
Companies that can easily access all customers in the world will perform best. This is good news for Apple, Microsoft, and Disney. Disney stock price in Excel right now is $70. But not for Amazon or Google which at first may sound contrary as the expectation is that Amazon "will take over the world". However one cannot do that without first conquering China. Firms like Alibaba and Tencent will have easy access to the global infrastructure being built by China in an attempt to speed up and ease trade in that region. The following guide shows how to get stock price in Excel.
We will explore companies using a:
1) Past
2) Present (including financial statements)
3) Future
4) Story/Tailwind
Method to find investing ideas in these regions. The tailwind is currently largest in the Asia region with 6%+ GDP growth according to the latest SEC form 4 from Edgar Company Search. This is relevant as investments in this region have a greater margin of safety; investing in a company that maintains flat market share should increase about 6% per year as the market growth size is so significant. The next article I will explore Alibaba (NYSE: BABA), and why I recently purchased a large position during the recent Ant Financial Crisis.

Alibaba has had a bad week when it was revealed that it will donate $15 Billion to ‘common prosperity’, really this just means that it will contribute more to development projects, which is already does as evidenced by its massive financing of startups already.Secondly, the breakup and re-organization of Ant Group, where it will still have a sizeable share. In both cases it’s likely to profit from the moves.Thirdly, $15 billion isn’t that much for Alibaba’s core revenue and growth in the Cloud and in Ads. So let’s get down to it with some of the facts.Ant Group is massive: According to the most recent numbers, Alipay has over 1.2 billion users overall, while its credit card platform Huabei had 190 million users, and its installment loan product Jiebei had 500 million users.Reported in June, the new lending company will be called Chongqing Ant Consumer Finance Co. It will be 50% owned by Alipay, with the other 50% coming from other companies, including some state-owned banks.The new company will also be liable for up to 30% of the loans it issues, which means the new company will need to hold more capital on its balance sheet, and will likely get a much lower valuation in the marketplace.This is all quite far and reasonable although Ant Group will have to hand over the precious data to the State. Not a big deal. That was bound to occur. Alibaba’s current market cap is just over $422 Billion, which makes no sense, that is, it’s currently undervalued. The P/E is now 18.77 that is very reasonable. Remember this company has income of nearly $23 Billion.At the end of August, the company pledged to donate $15.5 billion to China’s ‘Common Prosperity’ initiative . The money will be paid out over five years to support various technology and small business initiatives. It’s unclear at this stage whether Alibaba will receive any equity in return for the donations. It’s highly likely the donations won’t be fully without Alibaba profiting. China isn’t crazy, it just wants to spread the wealth around a bit better.So which other Chinese stocks appear very undervalued?$VIPS$BEKE$MOMO$YINN (as a long-term play)Do your own due diligence if you don’t believe me. If there is a correction of Western equities in October, 2021 or later before 2022, those are stock names I’d take a closer look at.While Alibaba is a huge company its growth in the Cloud and Ads should be able to absorb its serious setback. $15.5 billion is a lot of money, even for a company of Alibaba’s size. This sum is also in addition to a $2.75b fine imposed by China’s anti-monopoly regulator, which has already been paid. However it doesn’t justify the stock going much below $150, unless there is a strong push from short squeeze effort from other big investors.Chinese stocks will continue to go down as the sentiment and regulation puts a lot of uncertainty for their future in the West. However those companies are not drastically impacted from a business perspective. Alipay will likely also have to spin off its credit-scoring wing into a new joint venture that will also share with state-owned entities. Reuters has reported that Alipay will only retain a 35% stake in the new joint venture. So even in the shut-down of Ant Group as we knew it, Alibaba retains quite a sizeable portion of the businesses.Additionally BAT companies keep investing in very legit startups that will do incredibly well in the years ahead as China’s economy keeps maturing even with various bumps and dips on the macro landscape.While Western stocks are in a massive equity bubble, since a bull-market since 2009, Chinese stocks are nearing fair value. Alibaba has led investments worth more than $300 million into Chinese autonomous driving start-up DeepRoute.ai recently, for the most part its business as usual. Chinese regulation is actually good for its own particular version of state augmented capitalism. It can no longer tolerate monopolies abusing their position.On the operating side, things are looking good for BABA, as it continues to deliver sizeable business growth in its core business as well as in other areas, such as cloud computing. It’s cloud computing segment itself as a huge runway for growth with limited competition from Baidu, Huawei, Tencent and so forth. It’s the AWS of China for sure.Alibaba only owns 33% of Alipay, so the growth headwinds at Alipay aren’t likely to warrant Alibaba’s 50% haircut. Alibaba’s own investments are maturing, and ChinaTech is just beginning their global play with ByteDance, Xioami, JD.com and others. Alibaba’s moat is stronger in China than Amazon’s is in the U.S., which is saying a lot. Legitimate growth from JD.com and Pinduoduo keep Alibaba innovative. When you look at the E-commerce growth of $VIPS you begin to understand just how many winners can fit in China’s massive ecosystem of consumers.The exodus from Chinese stocks won’t last forever as as a whole those companies will grow faster than their American peers, who are concentrated in too...
This statistic shows the direct investment position of the United States in China from 2000 to 2023, on a historical-cost basis. In 2023, the U.S. investments made in China were valued at 126.91 billion U.S. dollars. Direct investment position of the United States - additional information Foreign direct investment (FDI), simply put, is an investment of one company into another company located in a different country. It differs from a traditional way of investing into shares of foreign companies listed on a stock exchange. The companies which make foreign direct investment usually own a part of the company in which they invest and they have influence on the decision making process. In the United States, FDI is defined as an American investor (called the U.S. parent) owning a minimum of 10 percent of a foreign firm (known as a foreign affiliate). The total direct position of the United States abroad amounted to 6.68 trillion U.S. dollars in 2023. Although the phenomenon profits greatly from the technological advances of the 21st century, as well as from the cultural flexibility of today’s workforce, FDI has a long history, going back to the colonial empires. Not without critics, FDI is generally believed to bring advantages to the investing company, such as access to new markets and decreased costs of labor, materials and production facilities. The local economy can benefit from an infusion of capital, access to new technologies and engagement of native labor pool. There are three recognized types of foreign direct investment, namely horizontal FDI, platform FDI and vertical FDI, along with various methods of implementing the investment itself. FDI considered by many one of the motors of worldwide economic growth. U.S. foreign investment abroad has seen a dramatic growth in the past decades. Multinational American corporations, especially focused on manufacturing, have largely invested in facilities overseas, due to financial benefits. However, a large share of these corporations focuses toward not only supplying the U.S. market, but also the local markets in which they operate. In 2020, the country that received the largest amount of U.S. foreign investment was the United Kingdom, with a little over one trillion U.S. dollars, followed by the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Overall, the total amount of U.S. dollars invested in European states in 2021 reached 3.98 trillion U.S. dollars compared to 2.25 trillion U.S. dollars a decade prior.
