Chinese stocks look set for their strongest showing since 2017, after a technology-driven bull run broadened out to include companies from gold miners to drug makers.

The MSCI China Index has risen about 28% this year, poised for a second consecutive annual gain. It is also en route to overtake the S&P 500 Index by the widest margin since 2017.
