Li Wei Zhang

Li Wei Zhang bridges East and West, providing essential insight into Chinese markets for international investors. Born in Shanghai and educated at Fudan University before earning her MBA from University of Chicago Booth, Li Wei spent years working for Chinese investment banks and multinational firms operating in China. Her bilingual fluency and cultural understanding give her access to Chinese-language research, regulatory filings, and government policy signals that Western analysts often miss. Li Wei has navigated China's transformation from emerging market to economic superpower, analyzing everything from state-owned enterprise reforms to the rise of Alibaba and Tencent to regulatory crackdowns that wiped out billions in market cap. She understands the unique dynamics of Chinese ADRs, Hong Kong listings, and A-shares accessible through Stock Connect. Li Wei excels at interpreting Communist Party policy directives and predicting regulatory shifts that impact Chinese companies. Her analysis proved invaluable during the tech crackdown of 2021-2022 when many Western investors were blindsided. Based in Hong Kong, she provides the ground-level perspective international investors need to navigate China's opportunities and risks.
