Not causing it to crash every day next week. Instead it will keep doing this roller coaster of crashing on the odd day.

They've destroyed their stock market with these regulations. Why would anybody buy in the future if they can't sell when they need their money? Doesn't the CPC realize how bad this looks? This is some amateur level poo poo, like something I would expect from Venezuela or Zimbabwe.

The Chinese CSI 300 only traded for a total of 14 minutes today before it hit its 7% limit down and trading was halted for the day. The market was halted for 15 minutes after losing 5%, but in that 15 minutes all that happened was traders just fed the market with more sell orders so that as soon as the market reopened it very rapidly hit its 7% limit down rule for the day.

And to think I used to think the CCP had some idea of what they were doing. A long term economic plan, no less! (Reference will only be understood by Uk goons)

Now I think it's just the same poorly informed politicians making panicy decisions on the fly that we have.

This really goes to show how terrified the Chinese government is of a repeat of t-square once the economic part of the bargain goes away.

Oh c'mon. I'm an eternal optimist and even I agree that China is in for some rough turbulence, economically, socially, and politically. And no, it's not the rosiest of pictures right now. But the constant, repetitive, and uncreative circle jerk that "China is hosed", the country is doomed, the economy will fail etc etc is hyperbole. Maybe the hyperbole and fantasy is sarcastic and simply going over my head? Help me out here.

They are going through a housing crisis that is going to make the US's look like a small market correction, along with needing to deal with an utter mass of really bad poo poo like completely uncontrollable pollution, massive population imbalance and so on. What exactly do you think is hyperbolic here? If the picture was as good as you are painting we wouldn't be seeing these actions by the CCP, these are moves of utter desperation- I'm not sure you quite understand how much cash they are burning on a bubble that is going to blow up anyway. Except when it does they will have already exhausted the tools needed to mitigate the bursting.

Yep, it's like Venezuela believing you can fix poverty by setting prices. Woops now the stores are empty and you have a huge black market. Prosperity doesn't come by government fiat.

It means tomorrows market is going to be F.U.N. No 5% and 7% limits.

I assume they will have a circuit breaker, just one that is not so set in stone at a stupidly low level. So if it drops 15% expect them still to close the market, but that's the same as any other market does.

At this point in time you're literally giving money to the CCP with little chance of ever seeing it again if you invest in the Chinese markets. They've somehow managed to take the concept of a Potemkin village to its logical conclusion, an entire Potemkin country.

SHCOMP doesn't really have much to do with the success or failure of the Chinese companies involved, really. What's more worrying is the manufacturing data (Caixing/Markit) that caused the investors to sell in the first place.

They actually planned this from the beginning of the week, which, uh, in light of this week.

The natural value of the Composite is probably somewhere around 2400 or so. Have at it guys (but if sales are so restricted, what then?)

If they stop putting government money in the market and uncap the amount the market can crash before they shut it down for the day: Real Quick. Without any government support structure it's pretty much immediately Black Tuesday 2.

If they stay the course trying to keep things afloat as long as possible: Check in this time next year and maybe there will be something to say on it.

Not much. I think I heard earlier China represents 7% of our exports or about 1% of our GDP. Some funds are more exposed than others, just like some companies are. It's probably going to suck for Boeing, Apple, and GM since I think all of them have lots of business in China or were counting on the Chinese to grow their markets.

The countries that are boned are places like Brazil that were exporting huge amounts of raw materials to Chinese factories.

The stock market is going to take a hit, given that some American companies were counting on Chinese growth to boost their bottom line (e.g. Apple, which dropped 4.3% today, and is down nearly 10% for the week)

I'm not sure why anybody thinks that Chinese businesses themselves are doing OK when about a year ago there was a scandal where the Chinese regulators were refusing to allow the release of financial information to the SEC for Chinese firms that had reverse triangular mergered their way in, with the SEC threatening to sanction the Chinese arms of the Big 4 accounting firms as well as said entities. I don't think the Chinese government was suppressing the financial details because these firms were the next Google...

In software we have the term "technical debt" when you do something incorrectly, maybe you rush it, and then you will pay the debt you created along a long time, in mantenance, in poor service, with it breaking too often. I think the reason china is a dubious economy is that they have something similar, but I want to call it "ethic debt". Theres more cost for corruption than inefficiencies, your smart people get tired of tryiing to make your country a better place and move to something else or maybe somewhere else. Imho
