China's tech-driven economic transformation continues to attract global capital, with foreign investment in A-shares reaching 3.5 trillion yuan ($483 billion) as of November 2025 – a 16% increase since late 2020. The Shanghai Stock Exchange Global Investors Conference revealed this week that technology firms now constitute over 25% of the A-share market value, surpassing traditional sectors like banking and real estate.
JPMorgan Asset Management Chairman Paul Bateman told attendees: "China's strategic focus on frontier technologies and advanced manufacturing creates unprecedented opportunities. With 260 billion yuan already under management here, we see this as prime time for strategic positioning."
China Securities Regulatory Commission Vice Chairman Li Ming emphasized ongoing capital market reforms, stating: "Our phased opening strategy ensures stability while welcoming foreign participation in shaping China's innovation ecosystem."
The Shanghai Stock Exchange plans to launch specialized financing channels for quantum computing, AI, and green energy technologies in Q1 2026, according to Chairman Qiu Yong.
