The Chinese problem

The stock market rallied 5.3% today with current talk that the government intervened. Chinese also apparently cut its holdings of US treasuries to raise dollars needed to support the Yuan.

The Chinese cannot decide what they want or rather they cannot let go. They want a matured economy but are too frightened to let the markets decide. This makes them seem erratic and indecisive. None of those qualities are investor trustworthy.

What the Chinese don’t seem to understand or value is that trust is inherent in a market. Once a market loses trust in a system, there will be no way to get it back. This is a fundamental of human life.

None of the damage they have done is irreversible and the implications are yet to be fully realised.
