As of my knowledge cutoff date of September 2021, the Asian stock markets were performing differently depending on the country and the specific market.

Here are some examples:

1. Japan: The Nikkei 225 index, which tracks the performance of 225 large Japanese companies, was up around 6% year-to-date (YTD) as of September 2021. The market had been boosted by strong earnings reports from Japanese companies and the country's relatively successful handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

2. China: The Shanghai Composite Index, which tracks the performance of all A-shares and B-shares listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, was down around 3% YTD as of September 2021. The Chinese government's crackdown on tech companies and concerns about slowing economic growth had been weighing on the market.

3. South Korea: The KOSPI index, which tracks the performance of 200 Korean companies, was up around 13% YTD as of September 2021. The market had been boosted by strong earnings from Korean companies, particularly in the tech sector.

4. India: The BSE Sensex, which tracks the performance of 30 Indian companies, was up around 23% YTD as of September 2021. The market had been boosted by a combination of strong corporate earnings, government reforms, and foreign investment.

It's important to note that stock market performance can be influenced by many factors, including economic indicators, political events, and global trends. Therefore, the situation may have changed since my knowledge cutoff date.
