THE value of Chinese stocks rose above US$10 trillion for the first time, the latest milestone for the nation's world-beating rally.

Companies with a primary listing in China are valued at US$10.05 trillion, an increase of US$6.7 trillion in 12 months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The gain alone is more than the US$5 trillion size of Japan's entire stock market. The US is the biggest globally, at almost US$25 trillion.
