Probably, just a few weeks back, after remaining in the dumps for years, the Chinese market came back into limelight, because of better than expected GDP numbers. So, there was a bit of movement of money. So, there is narrative and there is counter narrative. So rather than getting into a debate, there is a way to take care of both. The only thing is, a decision has to be made either today or Monday.
