No wonder the markets are spooked. Nice move, idiots.

More evidence that India has a better idea what they're doing than China does, really.

Yes, the leadership should have realised that spouting off like this was not going to enhance confidence in the stock market. It doesn't really matter whether they meant it or not - psychology is a key component of market sentiment.

China is holding itself back by holding on to Communism. I wonder when they'll figure it out?

" With a growing capitalist-style class system, there is also little evidence of socialism in current economic realities. "
That's from the article and that's what I think.
And the correction in the stock market: The Hang Seng is at 19600 it was at 15000 last summer
This was a correction. Nothing surprising - nothing catastrophic and of course nothing that would indicate the failure of the chineese economy.
It's quite daring to stick that to a speak that contained no surprises, nothing new and was good only for inducing sleepyness.
China has many probs:
They have a human rights problem, they have an economic problem and they have a demoscopic problem, they may have a problem with dollar bonds in future times...
But up to now they are doing way better then India (wich failed expectations in BIP rise )

Well, it's a progress...
Only 100 years (like the lease to UK on Hong Kong), and downgrading Communism to socialism (fascist version, maybe?) not full-fledged Communism? Then what?
About fifteen years before Soviet Union fell apart, in 1970s, well before "glasnost" and "perestroika" they changed their tune from Communism and started emphasizing "advanced socialism". I see a similarity...

From Communism to True Communism via detour through some form of socialism (fascism?)... Cool! Let's try all the flavors!
I don't mind them experimenting, as long as we can stop "Long March" to socialism here at home.

Leopards can't change their spots and neither will communist power holders who have military control.
The corruption there sounds a lot like our democrats, of course.

Simply, what caused the slide yesterday was announcing a 20% capital gains tax.
Nothing more and nothing less.
The Red Commies backed off, so guess the market will go up...
To: MadIvan
In 2016 America will celebrate 100 years of socialism. And If we continue to import socialists from Europe and Mexico we can look forward to 100 more years of goosestepping collectivism and the destruction of individual rights.

The corruption there does sound a lot like our own loathesome Democrats. Stealing land. Missing money. It all has that familiar ring.
Maybe now we know why Congress travels so often -- they've been learning at the feet of the master.

The Party of course could manage a U-turn. But the cadres would resist it for that would mean giving up their ill-gotten gains. Talk of socialism is more likely than its fulfillment. Such is the face of Communist Chinese politics.
