[the Political Bureau meeting pays attention to the bottom of the platform economic policy] the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting on April 29. On the platform economy, the meeting pointed out that it is necessary to promote the healthy development of the platform economy, complete the special rectification of the platform economy, implement normalized supervision, and introduce specific measures to support the standardized and healthy development of the platform economy. On April 29, Bloomberg reported that China and the United States are reportedly discussing matters such as on-site inspection of audit drafts to avoid delisting of China concept shares. According to people familiar with the matter, the consultation includes details such as whether isolation arrangements are needed for the entry of the United States, and the on-site inspection will take the first step towards restarting the listing of Chinese enterprises in the United States in the future.
Viewpoint: on Monday, the A-share and Hong Kong stock markets plunged under the influence of comprehensive factors, but after Tuesday, with the good news such as the replacement of CFO, the performance of Hang Seng technology began to stabilize; After the release of the communique of the meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee at noon on Friday, the market believed that the regulatory attitude of the Internet industry had changed fundamentally, and there was a collective surge in the China concept Internet sector.
We believe that Friday’s meeting marks a complete shift in the policy of platform economic supervision. In the future, the supervision of the Internet industry will enter a new stage of “giving priority to support and supplemented by supervision” (see our industry review “zhonggai Internet: the end of industry policy has come”). At the same time, Bloomberg report means that the settlement of the China concept stock issue has entered the stage of substantive consultation and is expected to see significant progress in the near future. Our report “zhonggai Internet: the more depressed, the more patient” on March 16 pointed out that the core contradiction affecting the performance of zhonggai shares lies in China’s industry supervision and the delisting of zhonggai shares. Today’s events show that these two contradictions have changed or will change substantially, and the internal and external pressure on zhonggai Internet market is expected to be fundamentally relieved since July 2021. We believe that the “policy bottom” of the industry has been confirmed, there will be a continuous rebound in the future, the industry valuation is expected to be repaired to a reasonable level, and the allocation attitude of foreign investors to this sector will become more positive. In the long run, the investment logic of Internet companies will still return to the fundamental performance of the industry and the company.
