There is always plenty of drama around Chinese New Year. After Trump ramped up tariffs throughout 2025, the policy was effectively gutted, leaving no legal footing.In 2026, following a rush of domestic AI model launches, China ADRs never had a 'DS moment'. Model-linked names were the only ones that outperformed.Also, during Chinese New Year 2026, despite decent consumer data, HK stocks fell first and then rose, an ineffective swing. There was no standalone 'Chinese New Year bull run' during HK’s solo trading days.With Trump-era tariffs in his second term ruled unlawful, what could this mean for markets ahead? The days of blanket re-rating may be over...

With Trump tariffs axed and China models soaring, can China ADRs rally?

In reality, its rapid progress in AI and cloud services is transforming it into a technology-driven growth company. Analysts generally lean toward a moderate buy to strong buy outlook on BABA shares.The launch of its latest AI model, Qwen 3.5, further demonstrates clear improvements in power and efficiency, signaling Alibaba’s strong commitment to competing in the generative AI race.I have the patience and conviction to hold BABA and ride the green dragon forward.
