BABA ownership updates as of 30Mar2022 - why is there more institutional buying?

JP Morgan called China investable as per the 15Mar2022 news article.  Here is an extract from the news article:

Chinese tech stock rout deepened, slashing billions of dollars from the likes of Alibaba Group Holding and Tencent Holdings in Hong Kong, on heightened concerns about an industry crackdown, Covid-19 outbreaks, and China's position on the Ukraine conflict.

Losses spiralled after JPMorgan Chase downgraded 28 Chinese internet stocks including Alibaba, Tencent Holdings and Meituan to underweight, calling them "uninvestable" over the next six to 12 months due to rising geopolitical and macro risks, Bloomberg reported.

$BABA released ownership updates as of 30 Mar 2022.  There seems to be much more institutional buying than selling as per the details below.
