** Meanwhile, Winnie Chwang, portfolio manager at Matthews Asia, said investors would like to see more clarity from Sino-U.S. Trade negotiations.
"I do sense that, while there's been a bit more interest in revisiting the Chinese markets, there are also still investors that sit on the fence, primarily given the still uncertain nature of trade, and it's very difficult to make any sort of confident predictions," Chwang said.
