a lot of the focus were not on china and people still waiting for the meeting hopefully some sort of agreement or deal will help ease or stabilize the tension. the technology front, the -- the deepseek the breakthrough shows the potential of china development, innovation and competitiveness. tom: and -- and on -- on deepseek, you -- you describe it more as the alibaba ibo moment, explain -- explained that. winnie wu: right, so there are two sides of the story. in terms of the long-term potentially it is similar to bob
1:20 am
oz ipo -- alibaba was ipo inspiring reignited animal spirit if you look at the 10 years ago, bob was listed in 2014. one of the biggest commerce companies in china was established in 2015 so with the success hopefully it can paternal round the sentiment in the past two years. almost every so we need to the private companies were very much de-risking, the ravaging, risk off mentality. hopefully people see the inspire ration and more companies and entrepreneurs will invest, innovate.
1:21 am
that is very important. short-term implication is despite baba and strong rally market had another big correction in 2015 and did not bottom until 2016 because the fundamental has not catch up yet. deflation takes time to resolve so market like to overshoot, market want to see the optimism goes up but when it comes to earnings, employment it will take a few more quarters. tom: national people's congress is coming up -- in beijing, what will you be looking for in the markets?

1:27 am
said competitiveness is important, looser rules, boosting industries and rolling back the regulations and not call it deregulation and it will making it easier to basically reduce burdens and not lose sight of the companies this concluded to hold it back to 85% fewer companies, the report was written when chinese concerns were prominent and with trump the eu understands they are also

1:37 am

1:42 am
seems a challenge. does that break constrained further upside? guest: high optimism into the election, the dax is up in the end of the year the dax outperformed euros stocks so just a strong run, it would be ok to see breather one key point is debt loosening and even if it is not loose and and something like off-balance-sheet find is made some investments can be made that would be an option
1:43 am
discussed. there are possibilities to move around the two thirds, discussions on whether the government can implement the debt break, so he there with the government or off budget situation. tom: under -- under those scenarios -- scenarios, what is your preference? or taking shelter in bigger, bigger names and -- into this environment what is your preference? guest: there was higher increase versus the dax because there is a correlation versus the local
1:44 am
economy, 30% of earnings with germany and 20% for the dax. there is a possibility the performance spreads. we saw mag 7 boosting performance and this could brought now but the names would have a higher boost because valuations underperformed. potential is there but very much depends on what the government decides on how to boost the economy, leverage is higher. tom: there is leverage but if
