<ul>
<li>Investors always have expectations for Chinese CXOs, believing that BIOSECURE Act will not pass and Chinese CXOs will bottom out. We can understand this, but we have to be rational.</li>
<li>Selling the operations that have been negatively affected is a reasonable choice, which helps stabilize WuXi’s business/market expectations. But this does not necessarily mean the geopolitical conflict will end here.</li>
<li>Without persuasive long-term logic, share price of Sihuan would still underperform. Despite strong performance of Chinese stocks, we advise investors to do short-term trading on <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/sihuan-pharmaceutical-hldgs" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:33:1" rel="noopener">Sihuan Pharmaceutical Hldgs (460 HK)</a>.</li>
