The National Bureau of Statistics of China released a series of macroeconomic data including Q2 GDP data on 16 July 2020. Although the Chinese economy was hit hard in the first quarter, it has since rebounded, and China is likely to be the only major economy that will achieve positive GDP growth in 2020.
