Yes, the bottom is really falling out in China, prepare for another Great Depression there. I won’t claim any great expertise on China’s economy, but the exasperated reporting on the recent fall in China’s stock market should also note that it followed an enormous boom. Undoubtedly many people who bought into this boom will be hurt, but it’s not clear that it is a disaster for China’s economy if it’s stock market returns to its level of five months ago.
It is also worth noting that its market had a far sharper drop in 2008. Its economy continued to grow strongly after the crash, although it did require a large government stimulus program.
