iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF is worth considering for international diversification and potential outsized returns. The EWT ETF's top holdings include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited and MediaTek, Inc., with the former making up over 22% of the fund.

While the China macro story of ongoing transition is a headwind to the rest of Asia, there is more to the region's economic health than this.

Asia-Pacific Is Not Just China

China's January CPI inflation was weaker than forecast at -0.8% YoY, which marks the lowest level since September 2009. We expect this to mark the bottom of the current cycle.

China: January 2024 CPI Inflation Fell To The Lowest Level Since 2009, Likely To Mark The Bottom

Why China May Need To Do More To Boost Investor Confidence

The Chinese economy is stabilising, but the only fireworks will come from the new year celebrations, which begin on February 11, as momentum remains weak. China's GDP growth for the fourth quarter rose from 4.9% year-on-year to 5.2%, bringing 2023 full-year growth to 5.2% YoY, exceeding the 5% growth target set at last year's Two Sessions.

China Begins Year Of The Dragon With Weak Economic Momentum

While recent policy announcements and data surprises have generated some optimism, we maintain a cautious stance on China's economic prospects. We believe weak consumption trends, a downbeat labor market and continuing property sector headwinds should all weigh on the economy in the coming quarters.

China Growth Could Slow Amid Limited Policy Options

In response to the recent China equity market rout, policymakers vowed last week to stabilize the market through more forceful measures. Despite a very positive initial market reaction (an 8% rebound in three days), deeper fundamental issues such as deflationary risks and lack of demand remain key concerns for China's economy.

China Outlook: Market Rescue Welcomed, But More Needed

China's government is finally moving to stimulate the economy after its sluggish post-COVID reopening.

Restarting China's Economic Growth

Chinese stock prices have lost money in the 16 years since 2007 and are now back near 2005 levels. Chinese treasury bonds have rallied sharply as beaten-up capital capitulates out of riskier markets and back to the relative safety of government bonds.

China Canary Warns About Global Economy And The Downside To Euphoria

Global equities, including US small and mid-cap stocks, have participated in the 2023 rally. The iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF is an outperforming EM country fund with a reasonable valuation and improved momentum. EWT has a high share price and a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 15.1%, but dividends are expected to normalize at a lower rate.

EWT: High Concentration, But A Reasonable Valuation With Momentum

Following a dismal 2022, Taiwanese equities are set to end the year higher. Looking ahead, the fundamental and technical setup is as compelling as ever ahead of election season. EWT isn't cheap, but its valuation is well-supported by an attractive growth/income combination.

PMI data for October showed momentum in China's economy waned following recent improvements in hard activity data. By industry type, most manufacturing sectors experienced a slowdown in growth in October, though for companies that are heavy consumers of energy, activity actually declined slightly, perhaps affected by recent increases in the prices of crude energy.
