<li>Given the large market moves, there will be many changes to the HSCI in March 2023. Quite a few stocks could remain in the HSCI but drop out of Connect.</li>
<li>Some of the potential deletions/ Stock Connect drops have large Southbound holdings and some of these positions could be pared back over the next few months.</li>

<ul>
<li>The exposure draft about online drug sales activities on third-party digital healthcare platforms would add uncertainties on JD Health’s business. We analyzed the potential impact and the logic behind.</li>
<li>Keeping both self-run and third-party business is the optimal option because JD Health cannot afford losing either one. The exact impact will have to wait until policy details are released.</li>
<li>As main revenue contributor, there are concerns on JD Pharmacy in terms of profitability and policy risks. Before second growth point emerges, expectation on long-term valuation expansion would be discounted.</li>
