This signals financial companies prioritizing their own balance sheets over socializing property sector losses, leading to re-rating of Chinese financials. Introduced position in Chinese autonomous vehicle company Pony AI. Autonomous vehicles are scaling rapidly with improving unit economics - fleet grew from 250 to 1,159 vehicles in 2025. Technology robustness has stepped up, with vehicles now working 24/7 in chaotic Beijing and Shanghai traffic. Fully equipped vehicle costs now under $50,000 with further 40% cost reduction targeted. | PONY 3968 HK 2318 HK 005930 KS 000660 KS TSM |
