China A-share tech sector's recent pullback has attracted scrutiny. Liang Hong, founder of large private fund Hainan Xiwa, wrote in a weekly investor note that he learned certain large insurance asset managers bought tech at July highs and then sharply cut positions in late September to stop losses—actions from long-term capital that he says exacerbated the decline.
