Beijing’s tech crackdown: Is it a good time to buy?
Join SupChina as we take a look at what is happening to China's markets via Beijing's recent crackdowns and discuss the potential losses or opportunities this point in history may provide.
Since the suspension of Ant Group’s IPO in November, Beijing has embarked on an unprecedented clampdown of its technology sector. The casualties include some of China’s leading tech companies, such as Tencent (internet conglomerate), Meituan (food delivery), Pinduoduo (ecommerce), Didi (ride-hailing app), Full Truck Alliance (freight logistics app), Kanzhun (recruitment), online private tutoring companies like New Oriental Education and TAL Education, and a crackdown on cryptocurrencies.
On the surface, China’s “tech crackdown” is exactly that: a clash between government power — wielded by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) — and what many call the “tech sector.” The reality is more complicated. Though there may be some method to the madness, the agencies involved are diverse, the sectors targeted are wide-ranging, and so, too, are the justifications. This event is designed to create a real-time dialogue with experts currently in the field and give attendees a better understanding of what they should be expecting from the fallout of Beijing’s recent crackdown.
