China escapes coronavirus selloff as country goes back to work
- While a major coronavirus-driven selloff was seen across the globe overnight, equities in China were largely unaffected by the movement, where the Shanghai Composite only closed down 0.3%.
- That's in part to large regions of China relaxing curbs on transport and movement of people as President Xi told low-risk provinces to restore economic activity and output, while high-risk area focus on controlling the epidemic.
- Figures released on Monday showed 24 out of China's 31 regions - including Beijing, Shanghai and populous provinces such as Henan and Anhui - reported zero cases of new infections on Feb. 23.
