[$3.2 trillion wiped from the value of Chinese shares in just three weeks]

Wow. 1/3 of the first part of U.S. debt in only 3 weeks. Wow.

Gold took a big dump today. I wonder if the Chinese sold some of their gold to fund their markets, or at least the Chinese have probably stopped buying gold allowing the western central banks to do their paper shorts unabated.

All short-selling — the practice of betting that stocks will fall — has been banned,..

While a nation may ban the short-selling of a particular stock I'm not sure it's really possible to ban the short-selling of an entire economy. It would be like trying to ban pessimism.

I have heard zero about this Chinese Market Meltdown. The numbers are stratospheric, hard for the average person to conceive of.

Usually the media never says anything but positive about the Chinese economy.

China needs a good old-fashioned bubble bursting. Gotta teach all those new investors what risk tastes like.

Pass the popcorn. U.S. media will try to ignore this as much as possible to protect the Dems & Obama.

I am not up on these nation to nation loans but could the Chinese suddenly call in the trillions of dollars in loans to the U.S.

Some freepers will know

Could they... would they?

Information coming out of China is more tightly controlled than from Greece, so most of us are unaware of their problems.

China has begun lending money to investors to buy shares in the flailing market.

Because that has a great track record of saving markets...
