What happened

The China stock play right now is to focus on artificial intelligence-related names, regardless of the slower economic growth , several analysts said.

Why it matters

"AI is the cleanest and most obvious theme right now," said Leonid Mironov, portfolio manager at Gavekal.

Common ground

More than half of the holdings in his new China stock fund, just approved in the last week, are related to semiconductors, Chinese self-sufficiency or high-tech manufacturing, he said.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
