In this article, we will look at the top 15 Chinese companies listen on the Nasdaq. If you want to explore similar companies, you can also take a look at Top 5 Chinese Companies on NASDAQ.

China is the world‘s most populous country and the second largest economy in terms of nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP). As a result, Chinas economic growth has been a major driver of global economic growth since the late 1970s. During this period, the Chinese economy has grown at an average rate of 10 percent annually. In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced a slowdown in growth as the country has transitioned from an exportdriven economy to a more balanced and consumerdriven economy. This transition has brought about slower economic growth, but has also seen an increase in the quality of life for many Chinese citizens. In order to maintain its economic growth, China has implemented a number of reforms to its economic policies. These reforms include loosening monetary policy, encouraging private investment, and shifting the focus away from heavy industry and towards services and consumeroriented industries.

“Extremely Bullish Setup For China”

On December 9 Marko Papic, Partner and Chief Strategist at Clocktower Group, appeared in an interview on CNBC where he discussed why he thinks “Chinese stocks could very well be the best performers in the world” as we head into 2023. Marko Papic noted that exports have declined in 2022 as consumer focus has shifted from goods to services. Moreover, Fed tightening and interest rate hikes across the globe have caused Chinese exports to dampen. However, Papic noted that “Chinese policy makers know that, and have been extremely aggressive post the October congress, in terms of having these 180-degree pivots. Not just in zero-Covid policy, but also real estate, on PBOC’s liquidity injections, and on fiscal policies. So this is an extremely bullish setup for China”. Marko Papic further said that “in terms of a trade for the next six months, Chinese stocks could very well be the best performers in the world” and that the Chinese economy is “stimulating on all cylinders”.

According to a Bloomberg survey, China’s economy is expected to grow at a rate of 4.8% in 2023, and record an estimated 3% growth rate in 2022, triggered by the ending of the zero-Covid policy in the region. Major Wall Street banks have revised their growth forecasts for China and have turned bullish on Chinese stocks. In this piece, we will discuss the top 15 Chinese companies listed on the Nasdaq which include Pinduoduo Inc. (NASDAQ:PDD), JD.Com, Inc. (NASDAQ:JD), and Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU).
