- meric 16y agoIf you watch the stock market news in China on TV, a stock highlighted in red means it went up, and green means down.
- metastew 16y agoThat's an interesting sidenote. I wonder if it's a subtle psychological trick to not associate red with negative connotations (such as "declining profits", "stop", "blood") because the color red is part of the CPC's identity makeup.Or maybe it's just a cultural thing, like how they wear white when someone died and black to celebrate a birth/life (I'm not sure if it is a chinese custom however, but I know it's an asian custom).
