Chinese government bonds have surged over 30% in local currency terms since 2020, defying global bond market weakness.
Chinese 10-year government bonds have delivered returns exceeding 30% since 2020, sharply outperforming U.S. and Japanese counterparts in local currency terms. The rally reflects China’s divergent monetary policy and economic conditions compared to global peers.
