ChiNext Index rises over 1% as AI hardware, short dramas and robotics lead gains

The telling detail is breadth rather than the index move itself: nearly 2,800 advancing stocks across all three exchanges suggests risk appetite widened beyond a single theme, even as AI hardware, short dramas and robotics did the heaviest lifting. That grouping is an odd one — two are capital-intensive hardware stories and one is a content format — so the common thread looks more like narrative momentum than shared fundamentals. Whether that breadth holds when leadership is this diffuse is the open question.
