Rising stock chart blended with glowing AI circuit patterns, symbolising AI optimism driving China tech stock growth.

​Chinese tech stocks rallied on Monday, lifting market indices to their highest level in four years. The rally was driven by AI optimism, as investors placed new bets on China’s ability to lead the next wave of artificial intelligence.

Companies such as Baidu, Alibaba, JD.com, and SMIC all experienced strong gains. Their roles in cloud, e-commerce, and chipmaking made them early winners of the AI optimism now shaping global markets.

The rise also reflects stronger government backing. Beijing’s push to support home-grown technology and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers has boosted investor confidence. With AI transforming industries, this support strengthens the outlook for China’s top tech firms.

Market experts say the surge shows how AI optimism is not only driving stock prices but also shaping long-term growth expectations. As a result, Chinese tech companies are drawing more global attention from investors who see artificial intelligence as the next growth engine.
