- Chinese internet giants like Tencent, Alibaba, and ByteDance are breaking down competitive barriers and collaborating in areas such as gaming, advertising, and office software amidst regulatory encouragement for "wall-breaking" to foster a more interconnected digital ecosystem. This shift comes as companies face economic pressures, stricter regulations, and the need to focus on core businesses for sustainable growth.
- The internet sector is experiencing a slowdown with traditional high-growth areas like e-commerce and advertising under pressure due to macroeconomic challenges and changing consumer behaviors. Companies are refocusing on their main revenue drivers, shedding less successful ventures, and streamlining operations to adapt to the new market realities.
- Despite overall market challenges, platforms like Pinduoduo and ByteDance's TikTok (and its e-commerce platform Temu) have shown remarkable growth by capitalizing on low-price strategies and international expansion. This has led other companies to adjust their strategies towards more cost-effective offerings and explore new opportunities for growth outside of China.

- NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) supplements, known for their anti-aging properties, have gained global popularity and seen a surge in demand in China. Despite the lack of clinical trials to prove their efficacy and safety, these supplements are marketed as enhancing sleep quality, energy levels, and overall well-being.
- China has become the largest producer and consumer of NMN raw materials and products. However, NMN-based products are sold as health supplements rather than approved drugs or food additives in China, leading to unregulated use among consumers without medical prescriptions or recommendations.
- The pursuit of anti-aging solutions is not new but has gained momentum with advancements in understanding aging mechanisms. Researchers are exploring various small molecule drugs beyond NMN, such as metformin and rapamycin, for their potential to delay aging and treat age-related diseases. Nonetheless, extending lifespan does not necessarily mean improving the quality of life, highlighting the importance of targeting aging itself rather than individual diseases associated with it.

- In early 2024, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) based on logistics property assets faced market sell-offs despite their previous appeal for their counter-cyclical nature. The sector saw significant declines, including a dramatic drop in the value of China's first private logistics REIT, JD Logistics Warehouse Infrastructure REIT.
- The downturn was triggered by a rental price reduction announcement from JD Logistics Warehouse REIT, reflecting broader market pressures such as decreased demand and an oversupply in logistics properties. This led to a reassessment of investment logic within the industry amidst concerns over liquidity, performance volatility, and macroeconomic downturns.
- Despite challenges, there is optimism for the logistics property market's long-term prospects due to sustained demand from e-commerce and express delivery services. Future trends include increased customization, automation, and green initiatives in warehouse operations, with a focus on high-standard warehouses to meet evolving supply chain efficiency and sustainability requirements.

- The governance of public REITs is complex, involving multiple parties and structures, leading to increased operational and regulatory costs. There are calls for legal improvements and simplified product structures.
- Challenges include balancing interests between fund managers and original equity holders, managing professional operations of underlying assets, and addressing conflicts arising from the dual role of fund managers as both sellers (with underwriting tasks) and buyers (with fiduciary duties).
