What happened
Beijing-backed funds stepped in forcefully, channeling cash through nine ETFs that the national team is known to trade actively. Inflows topped 156 billion yuan in the week through Nov. 6, roughly $23 billion, marking the largest weekly tally on record.
How it compares
This surge topped the earlier weekly peak of almost 140 billion yuan that occurred amid the April 2025 trade-war turmoil. It also came in above the 128 billion yuan seen in late October, when a sharp downdraft drew more urgent state purchases.
Market ripple
Initial skepticism has faded as stability appears: last week the CSI 300 advanced 1.7%, ending a 12-week skid, and Chinese tech stocks beat global counterparts over the most recent two sessions.

The bottom line: investors tracking flows into the national team's favored ETFs and any updates to liquidity tools will have a clearer read on how long this stabilization attempt might last.
