JL Warren Capital LLC is a leading independent equity research firm focused on Chinese companies and listed multinationals in China. We employ a bottom-up research approach that takes great care to avoid the acquisition of material non-public information. Through investigative due diligence including channel surveys and interviews, our research helps clients to pinpoint the dislocations in the market.

The alarming development in Corona virus cases could be a result of a couple of factors:<ol start="1" type="1"><li>The actual spread of the virus from the source of the virus (Wuhan in Hubei Province), has been exacerbated as the peak of migration and travel season started mid of January with~400 million Chinese traveling to their respective hometowns to be with their families.  If the actual development of virus had been made clear sooner, a good percentage of the 400 million Chinese would have had the opportunity to cancel their trips.  Unfortunately, due to the cover-up effort by the leadership of Wuhan province, the nation was under-informed until approximately January 20th.   </li></ol>2. Due to the cover-up effort by the local government, data released early in the crisis was under-reported.  Local governments started to respond to the central government’s command for data transparency after January 20th, encouraging the local authorities as well as the media to provide accurate analysis of those who have contracted and died from the virus.   In other words, patient count curves above could have been flatter.

Since May 10 when Chinese Vice Premier Liu He left the Washington without a trade deal with the US, nor any plan for future talks, both countries have been heating up the rhetoric’s against each other at home, diminishing the public’s perception of a deal in near future.   We believe that the trade talks broke down due to highly principal issues.  China were indeed to comply with the signed “contract” on paper, its state interest in strategic industries and state-owned-enterprises would be severely compromised – something that Chins is not ready nor willing to do for now.  What’s more, the complex friction within the Party, and opposition from the conservatives, played a key role in Xi’s hardening position against the US.  While projecting a hardline to the domestic audience, China on the other hand, has NOT engaged any significant counter measures since Trump’s somewhat unexpected tariff hike of 25% on one third of all Chinese products effectively on May 10th.
