End of the week in Chinese trading, and some shocking news: An Asian hedge fund that shorted Chinese stocks last year, sees that there are better opportunities in Vietnam and the Philippines.
The FengHe Asia Fund surged 20% in the past year as Asian stocks tumbled.

Deng Jiewen, who is part of a team led by Matt Hu managing the $80 million dollar FengHe Asia Fund, said about Vietnam:
“We remain quite positive about the Vietnamese economy and corporate earnings growth. The Philippines has a strong demographic and economic structure. The country is becoming more friendly to foreign capital now.”
Will that shift Chinese domain investors away from the current focus and into the open market for Vietnamese and Filipino domain names?
We are aware of the efforts of the Samoan domain registry to establish dot .WS as an alternate domain investment market, particularly for short domain names. The efforts are facing resistance among domain investors, due to the ccTLD’s unproven ability to rebrand itself as strong alternative to .CN and .COM.
For now, the Chinese domain market sales appear to be bustling with activity, in the two to four character realm of .CN and .COM domains that we track.
Here are today’s domain names:
