The Only Way is Up: China’s Gravity Defying Stock Market
China’s domestic stock market has been one of the world’s
best performing over the past few years. Whether its size,
turnover or number of new investors the market seems to
go from record to record. This apparent strength though is
misleading and the Chinese market is riddled with problems
and contradictions which have still not been addressed by the
Chinese authorities.
The talk will highlight some of the challenges faced by the
market and offer some guidance for investors looking to better
understand Asia’s second largest market after Japan. |
