Preview
We remain constructive on China EV and battery sales in 2025 despite sales a little bit slowdown in the last three months, as it is an important vehicle for China government to boost economy in the near term and reduce the dependency on oil imports from the long-term perspectives. We are positive on the leading companies who are continuously working on technology innovation, making strategic self-help efforts and gaining market share globally in spite of protectionism.
