regulation capture will allow those with capital to continually crash the stock market then prop it up with government money, which because the government can't afford more debt will be printed. this is called quantitative easing, and it allows the us to constantly crash due to bad domestic policies then export the crashes to other economies which ends up with the third world suffering. eventually this will continue until the Chinese have created a stable enough alternative economic system via the new development bank, ect and other nations move to renminbi (or the Euro lol) as a reserve currency

lol if you think the Chinese are creating a stable enough economic system

chinese capitalism has all the negatives of US capitalism tuned up to 11

In seriousness, China has made many efforts to create a new order and nobody can reliably say that these won't pan out/become viable as they get more powerful in the 50+ year range.
lol

The Chinese (fake) stocket market crashes and you know what the government does?

Order Chinese retirement fund managers to buy more stocks to prop the value up and then throw their foreign exchange at it and maybe freeze trading now and then

this sounds like a great beginning to a new alternative stable system

and god help us if the alternative to US led global capitalism are Chinese ghost cities

ect but it is way more egalitarian than the US market.

No it's not lol the difference between China and the US is that there's less transparency and the state controls the media way more so bad news leaks out less often and poor people get hosed there's no CNN reporting on it

According to a CBC report in 2015, the Shanghai stock market is the most active stock market in the world, 85% of trades in the market are retail-based and 2/3rds of investors didn’t graduate from high school.

that just mean the people who are gonna lose out are 2/3s the poorly educated

quote:

Whilst US households own (directly and indirectly) close to 80% of their stock market (this is because pensions, unlike the chinese stock market), the distribution of stock ownership is highly concentrated toward the top 10% of income earners.
this is a lovely comparison because the market cap for the SSE is way smaller than the US stock market as % of their respective economies, capital allocation in China isn't done through the stock market: it's done through some combination of having the right Guanxi with managers in state ran banks which gives out loans like candy and gets bailed out by the government under the table because non-performing loans is way way higher than western banks.

The other way is outright shadow banking sponsored by legit banks/local governments where they literally text people on phones telling them to put their money into guaranteed!!!! high return.....something just gives your $$$. God (or Marx) knows where the money actually go.

quote:

the distribution of stock ownership is highly concentrated toward the top 10% of income earners.
"Ownership" is also far less valuable in China than the US because property rights are much more ambiguous and a lot of the time it's unclear if a company is owned by the state or private investors or exactly what proportion is what.

E: actually come to think of it in China it might be -better- if the rich holds a higher share of the stocks because then the poor gets hosed less when the whole thing crashes down

the difference btwn the Chinese and US stock mkt is that whereas the US stock market is meant to be a capital allocator the Chinese stock market is at least 50% about tricking dumb western investors into thinking that chinese companies are legit so they put their $$$ into a blackbox which gets stolen and is used to buy houses in Vancouver (lol) by providing a superficial layer of legitimacy and guys in suits

also wanna hear some funny stories?

so in China major companies all have literal communist party cells in them and said party cells gets to make personal appointment decisions like how the board of director picks CEOs in western countries

so this british investor who held shares in one of them was like "I wanna attend the party meeting cuz I wanna know who you pick for CEO/CFO/ w/e" and the chinese were like "well you can't cuz you aren't a party member" so the british guy had to find this old british communist who joined up during the cultural revolution or something to sit in the meeting for him and take notes.

Western stock markets are well regulated and efficient enough that it's hard for even dumb investors to lose $$$, the same is not true for China

verall despite rhetoric those people would be way better off than poor Americans who invested in their stock market as even despite the crash the shanghai stock market has performed exceedingly well.

No it was a Russian oil company acting on behalf of Putin because his daughter wanted to run a comic book mmo. Said Russian company is embroiled in a legal dispute over a Siberian oil well after they employed ex-spetznas mercenaries to go and capture it under force of arms from a Canadian company.

western stock markets are plagued by bullshit IPOs and constantly crash. they also aren't worth even close to what chinas have been worth for small investors, due to the huge amount of growth china has had. sure, they could've been more efficient if they let Americans and THE GLOBALISTS invest and control corporate boards instead of the CCP. Instead they made markets that worked for the Chinese people. an honorable decision.

the fact you're making a past doesn't equal future argument now means you're conceding that you're basing your opinions on how you feel things might go instead of how they have gone. which is I guess why they are poo poo flawed arguments.

the fact that you seem genuinely convinced that the Chinese stock market is a great socialist stable project while Chinese insiders are literally funneling 100s billion to > 1 trillion of $$$ out of the country since 2015 into western assets is somewhere between amusing and concerning, depending on how much $$$ you are current invested in Chinese equity

I'm not sold on Central Bank versus Party control. Technocrats at the ECB, for example, seem to align with the concerns of finance capital while leaving ordinary people out to dry.

e: I'm not saying the CPC gives a poo poo either, just that democratic control is a preferable thing.

depending what you mean by "democratic control", is the fed under democratic control because he/she are appointed by and can be removed by elected officials?

Thanks for the information.

After some thought that actually makes me 180 away from thinking we'll have another housing collapse. Since those at the most risk of mortgage default already went down in the last crash and are likely stuck renting now.

Stagnation seems more likely to me. As people cut back on other spending to pay for rent/loans/necessities. I see rent's rise is starting to slow.

idk about that dude
