China stocks plunge, trigging another market halt

Hmm, what a great idea... China's efforts to control what should be a free market are having completely the opposite effect, encouraging nervous investors to join a stampede to sell every time the market starts to dip.

It's a triumph of wishful thinking over market realities, which even the might of the CCP cannot ultimately control.

It is a mistake Yuan is an international hard currency. as long as CCP controls the market. This is a very expensive lesson for investors who are still poring money into China.

I fear for the common punter who have invested their 'hard earned' and lost. I am afraid the poo has yet to hit the fan. This sorry saga is anything but played out.

The rise in Chinese shares wasn't based on fundamentals. It was based on emotive trading by investors who bought overvalued stocks and a correction was inevitable.

Wasn't this expected of a country and its people pretty much treating its economy as a casino? End result looks like house and gamblers both folding.

"the common punter who have invested their 'hard earned' and lost."

Much of it wasn't "earned." It was borrowed.
