Fearing Chinese Economic Slowdown? Tap its Tech ETFs

CQQQ, KWEB and KTEC have surged as China's low rates, AI push and tech giants' rally fuel investor interest in the sector.

British supermarket group Sainsbury's said on Sunday it has terminated talks regarding a takeover of its Argos by Chinese e-tailer JD.com, only a day after confirming the discussions.The development is a dampener of JD's expansion in Europe, which has gained steam in recent years. The company is pushing to grow its Ochama omnichannel retail brand and, earlier this year, rebranded it to Joybuy.JD also explored the acquisition of the UK big box retailer, Currys, before dropping the plan; in July 2025, it signed a $2.5-billion deal to buy Germany's Ceconomy, which operates electronics chains MediaMarkt and Saturn.In July, JD founder Richard Liu&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/jd-com-founder-richard-liu-promises-revival-pushing-food-delivery-travel-and-global-expansion/chlrUnmRRcx">vowed</a> to accelerate the company's international expansion and double down on new areas, such as food delivery and travel booking, promising a turnaround of the conglomerate he thinks has lagged in recent years.JD's&nbsp;Hong Kong-listed shares were up 1.2% in trading on Monday morning local time. However, on Stocktwits, the retail sentiment for the company's U.S.-listed shares dropped a few notches in the 'extremely bullish' zone from the day prior.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:626/71;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_09_15_at_9_05_05_AM_png_d036548af1.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-09-15 at 9.05.05 AM.png" width="626" height="71"><figcaption>JD sentiment and message volume as of September 14 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Argos, which Sainsbury's bought in 2016 for 1.1 billion pounds (about $1.4 billion), is Britain's second-largest general merchandise retailer, with the third most-visited retail website in the country.

Baidu, Inc.'s U.S.-listed shares were up 5% in premarket trading on Friday, mirroring gains in its Hong Kong shares on optimism around artificial development at the Chinese giant.Baidu's HK shares ended 8.1% higher on Friday. The previous day, The Information&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/alibaba-baidu-adopt-ai-chips-major-shift-chinese-tech">reported</a> that Chinese tech companies, including Baidu and Alibaba, have started using their own chips in AI models.The move is seen as a major step in reducing their reliance on chips from Nvidia, at a time when the U.S. has disallowed the supply of the top-end American designs.With the rally, Baidu is building on the sharp upswing seen in peer Alibaba's shares in recent weeks, also on AI optimism."$BIDU patiently waited for 2 years for this to finally pop," a Stocktwits user said, as retail sentiment for the stock climbed higher in the 'bullish' territory.As of last close,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BIDU">BIDU shares</a> are up 34.45%, below the 86% rise in Alibaba's stock and 41% rise in KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, which tracks Chinese tech companies.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Why Is Baidu Stock Rising Premarket?

A report released on Thursday stated that Baidu, as well as Alibaba, have begun using their own chips for AI models, a step aimed at reducing their reliance on Nvidia.

The recent rally in Alibaba shares may have&nbsp;offset the losses incurred earlier this year, when U.S. tariffs and high investment in the Chinese food-delivery space weighed on the stock. Still, retail investors and analysts have mixed views on the stock.Alibaba's U.S.-shares rose&nbsp;about 3% in premarket trading on Tuesday, after the company's Hong Kong shares (9988.HK) rose 3.6% to hit a nearly four-year high.On Monday, Barclays raised its price target on BABA shares to $190 from $145, signaling a&nbsp;35% upside, and maintained its overweight rating.The investment research firm warned that weakness in its instant commerce segment might peak in the September quarter, while the cloud unit growth is expected to accelerate in the coming quarters.Cloud revenue grew 26% in the last quarter, easily beating the 18.4% consensus estimate, helping offset the soft performance in the core e-commerce business. BABA shares have gained over 23% since its quarterly report late last month.However, the views of retail traders are mixed. The sentiment for BABA on Stocktwits shifted lower to 'bearish' as of early Tuesday, from 'neutral' the previous, with investors particularly clued in to the moves in the remainder of this week.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:574/62;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_09_09_at_3_24_49_PM_png_f4e1f284a1.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-09-09 at 3.24.49 PM.png" width="574" height="62"><figcaption>BABA sentiment and message volume as of September 9 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>"No resistance until 145 - 147 level", forecast one user.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/schdbtc/message/627912388</stembedurl>Alibaba has accelerated the rollout of new AI tools, which is translating into gains for its cloud business and investment in new technologies.

Alibaba Jumps 3% Premarket: Barclays Sees Strong Cloud Growth, Instant Commerce Woes Ending

Cloud and AI optimism lifted Alibaba’s Hong Kong shares to a nearly four-year high on Tuesday.

Chinese&nbsp;e-tailer Temu has cut product prices and ramped up advertising in the United States to offset business disruptions in recent months from tariffs and the rollback of a duty exemption for low-value imports, according to a Bloomberg report published on Monday.For years, Temu grew its business by selling ultra-cheap goods from China, but that model faltered after the U.S. implemented steep tariffs and discontinued the de minimis rule, which allowed duty-free entry of items valued at $800 or below. Temu briefly&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/chinas-temu-shein-start-pivoting-to-europe/chi4tf9Rb1X">shifted its focus to Europe</a> and other markets to offset the slowdown in the U.S., its largest market.According to a Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-08/temu-plots-aggressive-us-comeback-with-60-price-cuts">analysis</a>, Temu has now cut prices by an average of 18% on its best-selling products, compared to the prices in April, with some items discounted as high as 60%.Unnamed sources told the news agency that Temu is pushing merchants to restock for the U.S. holiday season and has also started working with third-party courier and warehouse service providers.The company,&nbsp;operated by e-commerce company PDD Holdings, has stepped up its advertising efforts, with daily ad numbers jumping to a few thousand from just a few dozen in the second quarter, according to Appgrowing Global data&nbsp;cited by Bloomberg.It has also stopped charging buyers import fees that caused prices to increase steeply, at times forcing customers to pay taxes that exceeded the cost of the items themselves.While still significantly smaller than Amazon, Temu and Shein have grown in recent years to become key shopping sites for Americans. Temu's U.S. sales plunged more than 30% during some weeks in June and continued to fall by more than 10% in July and August, according to Bloomberg. Shein's business was comparatively less affected, although growth slowed last month.On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment for&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/PDD">PDD</a> remained 'bearish,' unchanged from last week. The company's U.S.-listed shares are up 30.8%&nbsp;this year,&nbsp;trailing the 35.3% rise in&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/KWEB">KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (KWEB)</a>, which tracks Chinese tech stocks.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Temu Tries To Rekindle US Growth With Deep Discounts And Holiday Push As Trump Tariffs Roil Sales: Report

Tariffs and the end of the de minimis rule disrupted the PDD-owned e-tailer’s business model of selling low-value Chinese goods in the U.S., prompting the company to briefly shift its focus to Europe and other markets.

Alibaba's cloud unit has led an investment round of around $100 million in Chinese robotics startup X Square Robot, CNBC reported late Sunday, further deepening its&nbsp;presence in the advanced&nbsp;technology sector.Founded in 2023, X Square Robot is&nbsp;developing AI systems that enable robots to understand instructions and perform tasks autonomously. It has also debuted a wheeled robot, called Quanta X2, aimed at household, service, and industrial applications.The company has raised $280 million to date and counts HongShan, formerly Sequoia Capital China, and food delivery giant Meituan among its investors, according to the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/08/alibaba-leads-100-million-investment-in-chinese-humanoid-robot-startup.html">report</a>.Alibaba has long embraced robotics and advanced hardware, deploying much of it to power its cloud services and e-commerce operations. Although the field of humanoid robots is still a developing area, the move suggests Alibaba's growing push into advanced technologies.In recent years, the company has backed Unitree Robotics, another humanoid maker, and Deeproute, which&nbsp;develops software for autonomous vehicles, as well as made several small investments in tech startups. Meanwhile, Alibaba is also rolling out AI models at a fast clip, amid intensifying competition in the space in China.As of late Sunday, the retail sentiment for Alibaba on Stocktwits was 'neutral.'&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BABA">BABA shares</a> are up 61% year-to-date.X Square Robot has also released what it calls an "open-source foundation model for embodied AI," named Wall-OSS. That means developers can use Wall-OSS for the robots' software.The company’s Chief Operating Officer, Yang Qian, told CNBC that AI for robots still lags&nbsp;behind advancements in generative AI for chat or code generation, and said that ChatGPT 3.5-type capabilities in robots might not be realized within the next 12 months.Tesla’s Optimus robot has been in the news recently. Although used only for internal tasks and as an attraction at Tesla events currently, Elon Musk has claimed that&nbsp; 80% of Tesla’s future value will come from Optimus.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/opendoor-set-to-extend-rally-why-retail-traders-are-buzzing-again-after-meme-stock-darling-s-50-weekly-surge/chwWm5gRdq6">Opendoor Set To Extend Rally?

China's top economic planner has warned that it would prevent excess competition and wasteful spending in its artificial intelligence sector, even as the country's tech giants roll out new AI models at a rapid clip to catch up with their Western counterparts."We will resolutely avoid disorderly competition or a 'follow-the-crowd' approach," Zhang Kailin, an official with the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), said in a media briefing on Friday, according to a Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-29/china-warns-against-disorderly-competition-in-booming-ai-race">report</a>.The goal is to leverage China's distinctive strengths to foster growth without duplicating efforts, according to Zhang. The NDRC is responsible for formulating and coordinating the country's economic and social development strategies, policies, and reforms.The official's remarks echo those of Chinese President Xi Jinping, who cautioned against excessive investment in AI by local governments last month. Observers noted those comments as evidence of Chinese policymakers' desire to avoid a repeat of the overcapacity seen in other emerging industries, such as electric vehicles, which has contributed to deflationary pressures.Chinese companies, led by Alibaba, Baidu, ByteDance, and DeepSeek, have significantly expanded their AI services this year. Those developments have been funded by the companies themselves, although China has announced a venture capital fund and an action plan to support the growth of the AI industry.The comments about the AI industry come a month after the Chinese regulator, the State Administration for Market Regulation, instructed food delivery players Meituan, Alibaba's Ele.me, and JD Takeaway to tone down spending on promotions and discounts.Meanwhile, top Chinese companies seem to have held up under pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. So far this year, the iShares&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MCHI">MSCI China ETF (MCHI)</a> and tech-focused&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/KWEB">KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (KWEB)</a>, funds that track Chinese stocks listed in the U.S., have gained over 30%, compared to the 10.6% gains in the benchmark S&amp;P 500.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

China's Alibaba Group is in talks with unnamed banks to refinance a $6.5 billion loan maturing next year, Bloomberg reported early Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.The tech giant is offering pricing of below 80 basis points over the Secured Overnight Financing Rate to existing lenders who agree to grant a five-year revolving credit facility, according to the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-28/alibaba-seeks-to-refinance-6-5-billion-bank-loan-due-next-year">report</a>.Alibaba’s shares were trading nearly 4% down in Hong Kong trading on Thursday.It is common for large companies to refinance large loans before maturity, as this helps them avoid a significant cash outlay and maintain steady cash flow. It is also a means to lock in debt near the prevailing borrowing rates while preserving the company's cash reserves for growth or buybacks.Alibaba is heavily investing in its cloud division and large language models, as the company seeks to diversify its revenue streams beyond its core e-commerce.The company is also locked up in an expensive food delivery war in China, where players including Alibaba's Ele.me, Meituan, and the newest entrant, JD Daojia, are spending extensively on discounts and promotions to unseat one another.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BABA">Alibaba's U.S. shares</a> gained at a rapid clip at the start of the year, but then crashed in March when the U.S. tariffs policy was announced.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will join Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping in a Beijing parade on Sept. 3, marking a show of close ties and diplomacy in&nbsp;Eurasia at&nbsp;a time of crucial negotiations led by the U.S. to set global trade tariffs and end the Ukraine war.Kim's guest appearance at the parade, meant to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, was confirmed by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency and China's state-run Xinhua News Agency on Thursday.The event is a major one on the political calendar for Chinese President Xi, who will be at the center of much of the activity in Tiananmen Square, according to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-28/north-korea-s-kim-jong-un-will-attend-china-s-military-parade">Bloomberg</a>."China and the DPRK are friendly neighbors, connected by mountains," Assistant Foreign Minister Hong Lei said at a briefing Thursday, referring to North Korea by its official name, according to a Bloomberg report.&nbsp;China has long served as North Korea's primary supporter, offering crucial economic assistance that has sustained the regime. Washington and its allies have often pressed Beijing to leverage that influence to rein in Kim's nuclear program.This would be the first in-person meeting between Kim and Xi since 2019.U.S. President Donald Trump has also offered to meet with Kim since taking office in January, but a meeting has not materialized yet.Meanwhile, Trump has repeatedly pushed Russia and Ukraine to end their war; however, a recent summit in Alaska between Trump and Putin did not yield any results. Instead, Trump has stepped up criticism of India and announced higher tariffs on the country for importing high quantities of Russian oil and indirectly supporting Moscow's war in Ukraine.The war has also drawn North Korea closer to Russia in recent years; the U.S. and South Korean officials have said that Pyongyang has been supplying weapons and troops to help aid Russia.For investors, Trump’s tariff policy with respect to China, the world’s biggest technology market and one of the biggest U.S. trading partners, is the central issue to watch.&nbsp;Businesses and economies on both sides have faced strain; however, with Washington and Beijing easing tariffs and working toward a permanent agreement, markets have improved of late.The benchmark S&amp;P 500 (SPX) recently hit a record high and is up 10.2% year-to-date.

Retail investors and analysts grew more optimistic about PDD following the Chinese company's quarterly results, and backed its strategic initiatives aimed at driving growth amid a challenging situation in the U.S. market.PDD, which operates e-commerce platforms Pinduoduo in China and Temu internationally, reported a less-than-expected 3.9% decline in net profit for the second quarter. The company's 7.1% revenue growth,&nbsp;however, narrowly missed analysts' expectations.PDD's U.S.-listed shares rose nearly 1% on Monday to a five-month high; on Stocktwits, the retail sentiment went by multiple notches in the 'extremely bullish' zone.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:618/75;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_08_26_at_10_13_08_AM_png_03e59129ea.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-08-26 at 10.13.08 AM.png" width="618" height="75"><figcaption>PDD sentiment and message volume as of August 25 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Following the results, Citi raised its price target on the company shares to $168 from $154, and Macquarie raised it to $165 from $126. Both the research firms kept their buy recommendations.Macquarie analysts said the results were better than feared, given the geopolitical challenges, and demonstrate the company's cost efficiency and overall “flexibility.”The U.S. has ended its de minimis policy, which allowed low-value goods from China and Hong Kong to enter the country without customs levies and checks, hindering the business of Temu and fellow Chinese site Shein in the U.S. market.PDD has responded by refocusing its growth and merchant efforts in Europe and Brazil, which Citi believes will help offset weakness in the U.S. market.Citi analysts also noted that implementing higher prices and logistics fees, as well as reducing sales and marketing spending by Temu, will enhance the profit profile of the company's overseas business.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/consumer-staples-stocks-among-worst-s-and-p-500-performers-what-s-behind-the-slide/chsHK6qRdSj">PDD stock</a> is up 35.8% year-to-date.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/consumer-staples-stocks-among-worst-s-and-p-500-performers-what-s-behind-the-slide/chsHK6qRdSj">Consumer Staples Stocks Among Worst S&amp;P 500 Performers: What's Behind The Slide?</a>
