Bridgewater drops $1.41 billion in Chinese stocks during second quarter
Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund, sold all of its direct and indirect holdings in US-listed Chinese companies during the second quarter of 2025, exiting a position it had significantly increased just a quarter earlier. The total value of the sales was approximately $1.41 billion, involving 16 Chinese companies including Alibaba, JD.com, Baidu, Nio, Trip.com, and Yum China. The move reflects a strategic shift toward US mega-cap technology firms such as Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, where Bridgewater increased its stakes by 154%, 112%, 84%, and 90% respectively. The fund also exited exchange-traded funds like the iShares MSCI China ETF and iShares China Large-Cap ETF. This reversal comes amid rising US-China trade tensions and market volatility, while other investors, including long-only funds and overseas investors, have increased their exposure to Chinese equities.

Starbucks struggles to find a new identity in cut-throat China
Starbucks faces an identity crisis in China as it attempts to revive its struggling legacy business amid fierce competition from local coffee chains like Luckin Coffee, which gained market dominance by offering coffee at one-third the price. Private equity investors and Chinese tech companies have proposed strategies such as smaller stores, lower prices, and reduced staffing to compete more effectively. While Starbucks has introduced new initiatives like cheaper tea-based drinks, sugar-free options, and collaborations with local cultural icons like the band Mayday, its core store model remains controversial. The company's Chinese management team is experimenting with pet-friendly stores, free study rooms, and locations in scenic areas. Despite some sales growth in the most recent quarter attributed to beverage innovation and non-coffee pricing, a clear strategic direction is still lacking. The future of Starbucks in China hinges on whether it can re-engage consumers like Jelly Li, who now prefers cheaper alternatives and no longer pays for Starbucks products.
