China healthcare stocks have been experiencing a noticeable pullback since the beginning of October, with the Hang Seng Healthcare Index and the CSI 300 Healthcare Index declining by 12% and 9% respectively, compared to a 2% drop in the HSI and a 1% rise in the CSI 300 Index, JPMorgan noted in its research report.

This pullback can be attributed to multiple factors, including heightened US-China tensions, intensified geopolitical risk premiums prompting investors to take profits, and the inclusion of a milder version of the US Biosecure Act into next year's National Defense Authorization Act sparking uncertainties for pharmaceutical outsourcing services.
