In comparison, the second largest economy:

... China’s market capitalisation is about 60 per cent of GDP, according to CEIC Data

I don't really pay that much attention to whatever opinions expressed in the article, but the contrast of the U.S. stock market capitalization relative to GDP and China's captured my attention.

Interesting comparison. In a way, I'm surprised that a historically communist economy could now have as large as 60% of GNP capitalization. It's a gauge of how far market economics has been allowed to enter Chinese society.
