Chinese Economy Surging Too Now, Joining the US
The Chinese economy was the first to go through a deep recession in Q1 and Q2 of this year due tot he coronavirus breakout, although it was the first country to come out of the hole. it bounced back up, although since Q4 of last year it was lagging the US economy which is booming at the moment.
Although, it seems like the Chinese economy is booming as well now, especially after the Chinese New Year, as retail sales surge, as well as other aspects of the economy, such as fixed assets investments. This shows that the world economy would be also booming now, if it wasn’t for the restrictions in Europe and in some other places.
