26 Nov 2021: My view on why China "suspends" Tencent apps from updating

Yes I could wrong. For trading, one has to be agile and know when to cut loss when one is wrong. For investment, its a different operations because for trading, when price moves against one aggressively and hit stop loss limit, one is wrong even if fundamentals are unchanged.

Why did China "suspends" Tencent app from updating yesterday (25 Nov 2021)?

For my longtime followers on youtube, Tiger Brokers and reddit, you would know that I have done a video on Renminbi internationalisation and see China playing a very good piece of chess (i call them the master chess player)!

If you watch the video above, you would know that China is going to push forward with Renminbi internationalisation given that globally, the reserves in RMB are still very small compared to USD and Euro. An important piece of the chess set is to allow Chinese citizens to invest overseas!

With overseas equities particularly US equities at high valuation, it would make sense for China to keep Chinese equities listed overseas at lower valuation so that when they eventually open the floodgates, their domestic citizens who abide the rules and only invest by them, can enjoy the fruits with chinese equities rebounding fiercely then.

This is why until China allows their citizens to invest overseas directly, any rebound in Chinese tech stocks may not be that strong. This is why after Tencent crossing 500 HKD these few days, Chinese authorities have yet again announced such measures to keep the excitement of potential rebound in tech stocks at its bay.
