Over the past few weeks, Chinese stocks have surged, becoming one of the best-performing markets of 2024. Key indices, such as the CSI 300 and the Shanghai Composite, recorded the most substantial single-day rallies since 2008, with increases of over 8%. This sudden uptick in stock value, which saw these indices rebound by 30% in under a month before settling slightly lower, has caught the attention of investors who had previously shied away due to a series of economic crises.

This newfound positivity is largely attributed to government announcements regarding various stimulus measures aimed at revitalizing the economy and alleviating ongoing pressures on the real estate market—an essential sector representing 70% of household wealth in China.
