The move by hedge funds marks a departure from previous bullishness towards Chinese equities. In recent years, many investors have viewed China as an attractive market driven by rapid economic growth and government support. However, the recent sell-off suggests a growing pessimism regarding the country’s future prospects.
Several factors have contributed to the decline in hedge fund sentiment towards Chinese stocks.
