The valuation looks cheap; it's also far below PDD's own historical multiples, reflecting the structural re-rating of Chinese stocks under current geopolitical tensions. I am concerned about Temu's global expansion, especially after recent pullbacks in promotions and shipping limits that strongly resemble the early collapse signs we saw with Wish.

Investors can now access 4–7% from top-quality REITs, 3.5%+ from dividend ETFs, and 6%+ from midstream infrastructure — without taking on excessive risk. While the S&P 500 is up ~110% since 2020, 70–80% of returns come from the Mag7, leaving broad-market returns near inflation levels. US inflation sits at 3%, and Western Europe reports 3.5–4%, emphasizing the need for income-producing assets to preserve purchasing power for retirees.
