China's stock market has entered bear territory as a ten-week selloff in the CSI 300 deepens concerns about domestic growth and policy credibility, draining emerging-market capital flows across the region. Sovereign wealth funds are simultaneously tripling their China and Hong Kong positions after the pullback, signaling institutional investors see value in depressed valuations or reduced geopolitical risk—a rotation that historically precedes broader capital inflows and stabilizes regional currencies if sustained.
