In the 1979 disaster movie “The China Syndrome”, a design flaw at a nuclear power plant threatens a catastrophic meltdown in which the reactor core will burn all the way through to the other side of the earth. Investors in Chinese equities have lately been enduring a China Syndrome of their own. Over the last three-and-a-half years, the benchmark CSI 300 Index has lost nearly a third of its value, even as the S&P 500 Index .SPX basket of leading U.S. stocks has soared to new all-time highs. With Donald Trump set to return to the White House backed by a Republican-controlled Congress, should investors brace for Chinese stocks to shrivel further – or is now the moment to take a contrarian view? It is not hard to find reasons to steer clear. Having averaged 9% a year in the two decades leading up to 2019, China’s economic growth rate has roughly halved since 2020. Even in the boom times, the link between equity returns and growth was weak. But the cracks run much deeper than that. China’s investment-led growth model, funded by successive waves of credit expansion, appears to have run out of steam while leaving the economy loaded with sky-high debts. The country’s once-booming real estate sector has succumbed to an epic bust, shrinking the value of most households’ main asset and stranding local government finances. Meanwhile, broad measures of domestic Chinese prices have been sliding for more than two years, completing a toxic circle and raising the spectre of debt-deflation. No wonder the bears say its economy is structurally impaired. Yet alongside these well-known handicaps, investors in the People’s Republic benefit from some equally notable tailwinds. It is the world’s second-largest economy, it is the undisputed leader in global manufacturing and trade, and – according to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute – the global champion in research and innovation in no fewer than 57 of 64 critical technologies. Indeed, the European Union is now considering asking Chinese companies to transfer technology in return for subsidies, the Financial Times reported this week. Financially, meanwhile, China is the world’s largest external creditor economy, with an excess of foreign assets over liabilities of some $4.3 trillion. Its annual current account surplus has dipped below $100 billion only once in the last two decades and added a cool $250 billion last year. Such economic and financial fundamentals give the Chinese authorities a degree of flexibility over economic policy that few other governments can match. China bulls can take further heart from valuation and sentiment. Even after a 25% jump since authorities in Beijing announced monetary stimulus measures in mid-September, the CSI 300 Index still trades at just over 15 times earnings. India’s BSE Sensex Index .BSESN trades at 22 times, while the S&P 500 Index is valued at a multiple of 27. It’s only four years since the planned $37 billion initial public offering of Jack Ma’s Ant Financial attracted orders of $3 trillion from prospective investors – equivalent to nearly 3% cent of global GDP at the time – shortly before regulators cancelled the offering. Investors evidently weren’t too bothered by the Middle Kingdom’s structural challenges back then. If ever there were a case of prices making opinions, China’s boosters argue, this is it. Yet even if technical considerations make a short-term punt look tempting, the case for the People’s Republic as a longer-term investment is a trickier matter. The GOP clean sweep in Washington ironically makes it more likely that the world’s two superpowers will be able to strike an economic deal. That’s because on its central contentious issue – China’s management of its exchange rate – the incentives of both sides are increasingly aligned. An agreement under which Beijing agrees to revalue the yuan against the dollar in return for averting an all-out trade war would meet the key demand of Trump and his advisers for an end to what they see as an artificial currency advantage which has brought American manufacturing to its knees. Such a deal – call it a “Mar-a-Lago Accord”, after the Plaza Accord which saw U.S. trade partners agreed to devalue the dollar in the mid-1980s – would also align with China’s reluctance to reflate its economy through demand-side stimulus, in favour of attempting a more controlled recovery via a supply-side transition to new drivers of growth built on more advanced industry and technology. It would support China’s long-held ambitions for the yuan’s emergence as a genuine international reserve currency as well. For Chinese equities, such a détente might sound like unequivocal good news. It would be anything but. While it would free China’s stock markets from their current burden of geopolitical risk, it would imprison them in Beijing’s deflationary restructuring strategy instead. Absent the looser monetary conditions and higher inflation that a weaker currency would permit, corporate and local government balance sheets would have to sweat off their excessive debts over time. Growth in corporate revenue and earnings would suffer a prolonged slowdown until the economy had worked out its imbalances. Such a scenario would not disappoint all investors. A strong-yuan, sound-money strategy would be music to the ears of holders of Chinese bonds. Well-targeted venture capital investments in China’s industrial upgrading, meanwhile, could pay off handsomely. But for asset allocators exposed to most constituents of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges, the period after a “Mar-a-Lago Accord” would be a long, hard slog. There is of course an alternative possibility. China might opt to ditch its controlled approach and plump for radical reflation instead. That would require a devaluation of the yuan, killing any currency accord. Such a volte-face would supercharge Chinese stock markets – at least in local currency terms. But the resulting disruption to global trade and capital flows would almost certainly be extreme. In that scenario, equity investors well beyond China will need to don their radiation suits as well. “Today, only a handful of people know what it means...” warned the original movie poster for “The China Syndrome” of the meltdown at the heart of its plot, “Soon you will know”.

Tyrese Hunter tossed in a game-high 26 points to lead Memphis to a 99-97 upset victory over No. 2 UConn on Monday in the first round of the Maui Invitational in Lahaina, Hawaii. Hunter, who played at Iowa State and Texas before transferring to Memphis, made eight field goals with 7-of-10 3-point shooting. The Tigers (5-0) connected on 12 of their 22 3-point attempts in the win. UConn's Hassan Diarra made a free throw to cut the Memphis lead to 99-97 with 2.2 seconds left. He intentionally missed the second free throw and collected the loose ball, but his desperation shot was off the mark. It was 92-92 when UConn's Liam McNeeley was called for an offensive foul with 40.3 seconds left. UConn coach Dan Hurley received a technical for arguing the foul call, and PJ Carter made all four free throws to give the Tigers a four-point lead. Memphis, which squandered a 13-point lead with four minutes to play in regulation, received 22 points from PJ Haggerty, 19 from Colby Rogers and 14 from Dain Dainja. Memphis will play the winner of Monday night's game between Colorado and Michigan State in Tuesday's semifinals. UConn will face the loser of that contest. Tarris Reed Jr. had a team-high 22 points and a game-high 11 rebounds for UConn (4-1) before he fouled out with 3:18 to play. He made 10 of his 13 field goal attempts. Alex Karaban added 19 points for the Huskies. Jaylin Stewart scored a career-high 16 points, Diarra had 12 and McNeeley added 10. UConn trailed 82-79 after Diarra made two free throws with 24.2 seconds to play in regulation. The Huskies then forced a turnover and tied the game on a 3-pointer by Solo Ball with 1.2 on the clock. Although Memphis shot 56.5 percent from the field (13 for 23) and 50 percent from 3-point territory (5 for 10) in the first half, the game was tied 40-40 after 20 minutes. Neither team led by more than six points in the half. UConn received 29 points from its bench in the first half. Reed scored 15 of those points and Stewart supplied the other 14. --Field Level Media

Tens of millions of devices are thrown away each year — and the rise of generative AI will only make this worse - Livescience.comBUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Botafogo overcame playing with 10 men to win its first Copa Libertadores title after beating fellow Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro 3-1 in the final at Monumental de Nunez Stadium on Saturday. After just 30 seconds, midfielder Gregore, one of Botafogo's best players, hit the head of Fausto Vera with his foot and was given a straight red card. “It was so hard to have one less so early in a final. It was an unfortunate move,” Botafogo defender Alexander Barboza said. “But Gregore deserves this title as much as we do. We made history and that won’t ever be erased.” Winger Luiz Henrique scored first in the 35th minute from close range, and was fouled for the penalty shot converted by Alex Telles in the 44th. Eduardo Vargas headed Mineiro's only goal in the 46th while Junior Santos, the top scorer in the Copa Libertadores with 10 goals, capped Botafogo's historic night with the third in injury time. Brazil was assured of a sixth consecutive Copa Libertadores title and its 24th in history, just one less than Argentina. It was also the third straight title for Rio de Janeiro clubs, after Fluminense in 2023 and Flamengo in 2022. Botafogo, the last of the four big Rio clubs to win the Copa Libertadores, earned prize money of $23 million and a spot in the Club World Cup in the United States next year. Despite sensationally losing Gregore, Botafogo reset and Luiz Henrique scored the opener. Henrique surged on the right flank and crossed to Marlon Freitas, who took a shot that was deflected. Henrique was in the right place to strike through the legs of goalkeeper Ederson. Henrique and Ederson met again near the end of the first half when the striker surprised the keeper on the edge of the box. A penalty was given after a video review and left back Telles calmly slotted the ball home. Mineiro came back with a more aggressive formation in the second half and was rewarded when veteran Hulk took a corner kick and Vargas, who replaced midfielder Gustavo Scarpa during the break, didn’t even need to jump to score with his head. Mineiro had more chances to equalize through Deyverson in the 53rd, Hulk in the 56th, and Vargas in the 86th and 88th, all from close range. But it was Botafogo’s Júnior Santos, who was sidelined by injury during the Copa, who scored the last goal. “We just failed at getting some advantage at having one more player than them,” tearful Mineiro defender Rodrigo Battaglia said. “It was a very hard day for all of us.” Botafogo coach Arthur Jorge joined Portuguese compatriots Jorge Jesus (Flamengo, 2019) and Abel Ferreira (Palmeiras, 2020 and 2021) as European coaches with a Copa Libertadores title. Mineiro's Gabriel Milito missed the chance to be the first Argentine to win the tournament with a Brazilian club. Botafogo also gave American owner John Textor his biggest trophy yet. Textor has been subject to criticism after unproven allegations about match-fixing when Botafogo squandered a 13-point lead last year and missed out on the league title. Next week, his team could win its first Brazilian title since 1995. “I saw this was a hungry group of players since I joined,” said Telles, who joined Botafogo in mid-year. “No one was speaking about what happened last year, it hurt us all. We knew we had a burden to carry, to give something back to our fans. Now we did it.” Botafogo was relegated from the league in 2020 but has risen to prominence again with Textor’s investment. He was part of a wave of foreign owners who came into Brazilian soccer after a 2021 law change paved the way for private investors. Mineiro also has wealthy owner in Brazilian billionaire Rubens Menin, a construction mogul. Savarese reported from Sao Paulo. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
