Assuming it started at 2900 (and I did my math right) and it drops 10% every day, about 4 days or so.

So is this what we have to look forward to? An unstable draw between panicked investors and the CCP's money piles/people forced by the CCP to use their money piles?

The CCP is just reintroducing a policy of all businesses being state owned. This time though they decided it was better to drag out the process.

I hope, when all is said and done, they follow the endless paths of shell companies within shell companies, factories that produce nothing but source each other, and infinite shadow loans back to the root and find some granny sitting in a tiny apartment in Guangzhao, watching TV, with no idea what's going on.

Well that cut in interest rates has definitely slowed China's free fall.

-2.3% despite the interest rate cut. But there is no crisis, nope everything is totally fine.... for maybe a few more month, even another year if we burn more of the pension fund.

And back up to 0.5%. I dunno, maybe this is just how it's going to be for a few days while they react to the interest rate drop and pension infusion.

Kind of flip-flopping above and below 0% for the past few minutes. They're trying, I'll give them that.

I have no idea how stock markets work. Whats the deal with pensioners? Is the Chinese government using some sort of federal retirement fund to buy worthless Chinese stocks to try and make it look like the market is staying steady?
