Will China disrupt your portfolio? Use Claude to find out.
A workflow to spot risks before they show up in stock prices.
They went from selling phones to selling more cars than Tesla in just 3 years
Xiaomi.
A Chinese company known for selling smartphones entered one of the hardest industries in the world…
…and its first EV sold more units in China than Tesla’s Model 3!
And they are not the exception.
Last year, China produced 75% of the world’s electric cars.
And it’s not just EVs…
China now controls 85% of the global solar supply chain.
Today, they can manufacture 2x the solar panels the world uses each year.
Yes, you read that right: 2X the world needs!
We know that when China enters massivly an industry:
The local capacity grows fast.
Prices fall as competition intensifies.
Margins get squeezed across the global industry.
Stock prices fall for decisions China made years ago.
1408 days separated China’s EV plan from the first German automaker profit warning linked to Chinese competition.
As investors, the earlier we see this coming, the better.
I built a Claude workflow tha scans “the China risk” for any industry or stock and find:
which sectors China is pushing into
If a company you own could get hit and how
what to watch before the market notices
Follow the steps below and use the prompts and Skills I’m sharing to run your own China risk analysis on any stock or industry.
Let’s dive in:
The China risk scan with claude:
The pattern is always the same:
1. China picks an industry :It puts it in its 国民经济和社会发展五年规划纲要
For non-Mandarin speakers like me, that means theire 5 Year Plan.
2. Money follows:
Capital, subsidies, infrastructure, and new companies move into that industry.
3. The local market helps companies scale:
China’s huge home market lets them grow fast , build more capacity, and cut costs.
4. The strongest players go global:
Once they reach scale, they start exporting everywhere.
Any business with no real moat, can quickly start a race to the bottom.
Let’s use this 3-step Claude workflow to find where China could disrupt next:
Step 1: Analyze China’s 5 Year Plan
Step 2: Map the impact on any industry
Step 3: Map the impact on any stock
Step 1: Analyze China’s 5 Year Plan :
We first need to understand what China is actually planning.
The latest 5 Year Plan was released in March 2026.
The problem?
It is a long, complex document written in Chinese.
Perfect job for AI.
