The Chinese stock exchanges have not had the most brilliant start to the new year. The CSI 300 index, which includes shares on both the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges, has lost over five percent in the first seven trading days – the worst outcome since 2016, according to the news agency Bloomberg.

The world's second-largest economy has had a tough time in recent years, and the Chinese government has launched several measures to boost economic development in the country.

All eyes are now on the People's Congress in March, when important economic goals are expected to be presented. President Xi Jinping recently signaled that further stimulus will be required in the coming years.

Furthermore, the incoming American President Donald Trump has threatened higher tariffs on goods from China. Analysts fear that a potential trade war could slow down China's economic recovery.
