If you looked at this same graph over the last couple quarters I think you would see that China’s economy got trashed first and they are earlier in the recovery process than others.

If I’m reading this graph right, this is showing the difference in GDP from Jan-Mar to Apr-Jun.

China was already locked down in Q1, we went into lockdowns almost entirely in Q2.

Now, with all that being said, I absolutely agree that the Chinese invested everything they could in hyping the scamdemic as the rest of the world went into Q2. They got thrashed in Q1 and wanted to make up lost ground while everyone else went into lockdown.

Mhmmm. Would love to see a graph of GDP over the past 18 months. :)

What’s also impressive is they someone only have like 80k cases in a population of 1.3 billion. Wink wink

Looks like China was down 10% in Q1: https://www.statista.com/statistics/271769/quarterly-gross-domestic-product-gdp-growth-rate-in-china/

The US contracted too during Q1, but not as much as China: https://www.statista.com/statistics/188185/percent-change-from-preceding-period-in-real-gdp-in-the-us/

I didn’t look into any of their sources or backup data, but this is the same source as the graph from OP
