China COVID zero policy has changed into a gentler kinder policy that is more economically and socially friendly. China has also developed or acquired new technologies that will allow it to face COVID in a similar manner to the west.

As many on here know I argued that once Xi was elected and as a way to mark his re-election as the super supreme leader we would see the official end of COVID zero and it would unleash a monumental wave.

In name we have not seen the ending of COVID zero, but in practice we are definitely seeing a profound departure from the policy into something more workable, and all the while COVID cases on the ground in China are at recent historic highs. This itself is very notable and the markets know it.

My second argument is that China would return to the old real estate play book to return the economy to its high growth phase necessary for it to honour its social contract.
