Since then, China’s stock market has been a global laggard – that is, until the past year, when it became the best performing in the world, rising by more than 150%. And yet the roller-coaster pattern continues: the 8.5% plunge came when the market re-opened on a Monday that followed the largest two-day rise since 2008.
此后，中国股市一直落后于全球——直到去年以来又成为世界表现最好的股市，上涨超过150%。但过山车模式还在继续：周一8.5%的暴跌之前，中国股市刚刚经历了2008年以来最大的两日涨幅。而在上涨之前，从6月中旬到7月上旬，中国股市跌去了近三分之一的市值。
