We are at +0.1%, somehow things have rapidly bounced back... that's a lot of pension money they must have poured in.

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?

Which begs the question, what to do when this fails to work? Require are mid level PRC goons to use their secret funds to continue buying more? Liquididating personal savings at the BoC and using them to buy stocks?

The law got changed to allow Chinese pensions to invest in risky local investments like derivatives or A class stocks.

Government is hoping a flood of pension money will help revive the market.

Note that it's pensioned administered by the 'local' Chinese authorities that are opening up volumes of cash to flow into the markets. This isn't petty change either - it's opening up literally hundreds of billions of US Dollars worth of RMB to prop up the stock market.

And I imagine any good 'pension administrator' is also a good member of the CCP. They'll support their party, even if it means having a pig roast over the bonfire of pensioner's money.

side note: They opened up a wide ranging option of securities to be invested in by the pensions, so it's not all just 'BUY STOCKS BURN MONEY'.

It's one of the few tools available to combat deflation once deflation has reared it's ugly head. It's more impactful when you think of the a central reserve lending to banks and other financial institutions. It incentivizes those institutions to lend money to consumers so the banks aren't left holding non-performing assets (cash). The Banks (or customers) are essentially paying a 'tax' to keep their money safe in conventional accounts. That makes lending, spending, and investing more attrative as it acts to offset some of the intrinsic risk when pricing those opportunities.

Banks can then pass that along to consumers because it gives consumers incentive to increase spending in the short term because they lose purchasing power in the long term. This, in theory, increasing the velocity of funds through the economy and can hopefully get you back into a healthy interest rate territory.

I'm not arguing it's an optimal tool, but that's why you could be using it. Japan has been one of the examples if you're interested in digging deeper into the subject.

Often after a giant vertical dive in a market, there is often a brief "stabilization" before a more swallow decline to its ultimate bottom (2100-1800 in case of the Shanghai exchange). Markets rarely actually just collapse into nothing in a single run but slowly reach equilibrium after a initial complete panic.

I think all the government's stabilization efforts really did were rob us of a dramatic 5000 to 2000 implosion back in July and instead drag the ordeal out into a pathetic, whimpering slow death

Fortunately any investor that isn't insane has likely been able to get their money out without too much loses, courtesy of those pensioners. Now those lazy greedy pensioners and that big fat government will be holding the bag and those job creators will be scott free.

Looking at the market at a whole, it is still obviously quite overvalued compared to where it was at the same point last year. Usually, after a bubble like the one at the moment collapses, it takes a while for it to work out before that bottom is found.

It may drag out longer in China simply because the state has a stake in the market itself in quite a literal sense.
