The Truth Behind the KOSPI Crash: Breakthrough in Domestic DUV + CXMT Listing, Zero Premium for Chip Oligopoly Hegemony

Although Hong Kong semiconductor stocks are under pressure simultaneously, tech giants like Tencent and Alibaba benefit most from this round of Asia-Pacific capital rebalancing due to AI application implementation and short covering.
