Fake News ‘The Economist’ Actually Believes China’s Stock Market Numbers

Financial markets have also been turned upside-down. In early February, China was the trouble spot, its equities among the world’s worst performers (their decline started after state media reported on January 20th that human-to-human transmission of the virus was possible). American stocks were, almost on a daily basis, climbing to record highs. Their positions have since been reversed. Equities have cratered throughout much of the world. The American stockmarket’s bull run, its longest on record, has come to a shuddering halt. Instead, it is China that stands as the world’s best-performing market of 2020.
