## Resource

Episode 45 of China Economy with Fexingo dives into a puzzling divergence: why Chinese consumer-facing stocks like Alibaba and JD.com are falling sharply while export-driven names hold up better. Using fresh data from June 11, 2026, Lucas and Luna explore how weak domestic demand, a stable yuan, and shifting trade dynamics are creating a two-tier market. Alibaba's 8% weekly drop contrasts with steady factory output. The hosts break down what the trade balance and yuan level tell us about investor sentiment, and question whether consumer confidence can catch up to the industrial boom. #ChinaEconomy #ConsumerStocks #Exports #Alibaba #JDcom #Baidu #PDD #NIO #Yuan #TradeBalance #DomesticDemand #FXI #KWEB #MCHI #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #AsiaMarkets Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
