    Asset management behemoth Fidelity has just joined Goldman’s bullish call on China, with Robert Bao – one of its Hong Kong-based portfolio managers – telling Bloomberg that they’ve pretty much loaded up on Chinese shares the past few weeks:

    “As far as the fundamentals are concerned, we are actually quite confident,” Robert Bao, a Hong Kong-based money manager at Fidelity, which oversees more than $2 trillion globally, said in a telephone interview. “We are fully invested.”
