China's Lost 30 Years

Written by Samuel A. Kiburz | Nov 16, 2022

Today's chart from Refinitive shows that over the last 30 years, China has delivered a cumulative return of zero dollars, meaning $100 invested 30 years ago is still worth only $100 today.

I was initially surprised by this statistic, but after further thought, this is a communist county, so their economic system is designed for the State to end up with all the profits.
