    Default China in trouble?

    I am a layman and won't pretend to understand this, all I know is where to get the best roasted duck (it's really good), but isn't this kinda spectacular, or at least unusual. https://mobile.twitter.com/Schuldens...873600/photo/1 That is quite the nosedive

    Thoughts from people who know what they are talking about? I know about the real-estate bubble but nothing seems to have changed there

    If I were you I would be more careful - I have been chastized/severely reprimanded for quoting social media. Or do you have a carte blanche from Brenus?

    "I have been chastized/severely reprimanded for quoting social media" And rightly so. I remember doing it when you used it as proof not as start for debate or information. Now, if you go at 5:30 on BBC, on the news, you will see the drop of the Chinese's Market. Now, if China going down, well, perhaps. And who will be in front of the firing squad if it does? The Foreigner admirers living in Hong Kong of the Communist dictatorship, or the members of the Politburo?

    It's just someone who links the graph, shouldn't be a problem. There are no carte blanches on the org by the way, you seem to think some members are privileged

    I saw you do the same thing, yet no one batted a lid.

    I don't think, I compare the attitudes. (Some) old timers get away with things (some) new comers are swooped at.

    Check out the second Ukraine thread (the notorious buyer-link).

    Not my impression. As Brenus said, you shouldn't social media as a source. In my post there was just a graph that was directed from elsewhere. You aren't treated unfairly. If I cross any lines the mods will give me infraction-points, if I say something stupid I will be rediculed by fellow members, if I say something I can't back up I am dismissed. Goes for everybody. Also for me and Kadahar, I am this specfic because I remember you using us as an example of the supposed privilige.

    On topic: It really seems like trouble, the officials are panicking and pouring a lot of money into the market to stabilize. At first I thought it was only due to some big scale profit-taking, but it looks like it's more serious. I'm interested in the reasons. It's unlikely that the chinese market collapses due to the greek trouble, so it must be something else.
    Anyone got info in laymans terms?
