After falling to a low point in early October, China’s high-profile Internet equity gains double-digit gains. The Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index rose 18 percent, while Hong Kong’s Hong Singing Tech Index jumped more than 13 percent.
Analysts are becoming more positive, with HSBC improving its position on Chinese stocks this week, saying investors are “very weak” on the country’s stocks. But the prospect of further sanctions still lingers in the sector, creating a yawning gap between Chinese technology stocks and the wider market.
Following the recent shock of Chinese markets and economic growth, the CSI 300 index of large Shanghai and Shenzhen stocks fell 5 percent this year, while the largest tech groups in Hong Kong and New York fell more than 20 percent. .

Ma’s criticism of financial regulators was sparked last November by looting the IPO of Ant, Fintech and its sister company Alibaba and encouraging the first wave of control.
This puts Alibaba’s stock as one of the heaviest, with regulators dropping your list by about 45 percent and rival Tensent down by 16 percent. The two groups have been repeatedly targeted by regulators due to their wide influence from social media to payment process and personal finance.
