Goldman Sachs head of worldwide foreign money spoke in a Bloomberg TV interview on Tuesday, mulling additional underperformance from China forward:

“You want to treat EM and EM ex-China differently. Chinese assets have been pretty uncorrelated with a lot of other EM assets for some time: that has been true on the equity side and also the fixed-income side
despite an “aggressive hiking cycle by the Fed, a strong dollar and a slowing China, EM assets have performed resiliently.”
however the continued deceleration in China is a disappointment

From EMs-ex China in 2024:

“Rising-market central banks hiked rates of interest early, proactively and aggressively to deal with the approaching inflationary shock. The truth that they have been forward of the sport in comparison with plenty of developed markets I believe undoubtedly helped them,”
“That macro combination is looking much better than what it has been, and that is a pretty positive thing for EM assets. We expect to see positive total returns in EM assets next year.”

The way in which analysts are queueing as much as nail the coffin shut on China it is perhaps simply the time to method 2024 with an open thoughts on China outperfomance.
