In a year when Chinese stocks are among the worst-performing globally, there have been rare winners: those that have shown they can compete on the global stage.

Take PDD Holdings Inc. Its US-listed shares have surged 80% this year as its Temu discount shopping app quickly grew into a legitimate Amazon.com Inc. challenger after a splashy Super Bowl ad in February. Budget lifestyle retailer Miniso Group Holding Ltd., which opened a flagship store in Times Square in May, is up by more than 70% amid record sales and profits.
