Yahoo Finance Video

Yahoo Finance Live anchors discuss how Chinese stocks are moving.

Video transcript

JULIE HYMAN: All right, there's something else that I've been watching this week and today that I want to mention. There's sort of related phenomenon that we're watching, and I don't know if we guys have this ticker. Did we get the Jianzhi Education Technology ticker?

BRAD SMITH: The [INAUDIBLE] meme mania?
