In early July, major US indexes, including the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow Jones Industrial Average, reached record highs, and US President Donald Trump pointed to the rally as evidence of an American economic revival, according to SCMP Economy.

SCMP Economy reports that the contrast with Beijing is stark, with Chinese officials typically discussing their own exchanges infrequently and with caution. The outlet says Washington’s ability to attract global capital via the US market boom leaves Beijing facing a choice between maintaining its restrained approach or attempting to support a parallel rally to reduce capital outflows.

SCMP Economy also highlights commentary from Xiao Geng, associate dean of the School of Public Policy at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. He said Chinese regulators need a fundamental shift in their view of capital markets, adding that the focus should move from risk prevention to creating, accumulating, and preserving wealth.
