With increasing vaccine availability and an improving economic environment, the New Year is showing signs of optimism for global investors. In particular, China—the only major economy with positive growth in 2020 according to the IMF—continues to boast a vibrant, entrepreneurial economy and is well-positioned to set the stage for future growth.

Please join us for an interactive discussion with Matthews Asia Investment Strategist Andy Rothman and Portfolio Managers Winnie Chwang and John Paul Lech as they explore how portfolios can gain exposure to the world’s second largest economy and share their thoughts on:

  • The state of China’s economic recovery
  • U.S.-China relations under the Biden administration
  • Investment trends and sectors that may impact growth prospects
  • How a broader emerging markets strategy can provide exposure to China
