China stocks tumble again after premier Li Keqiang fails to mention crisis

Source: The Guardian

Hundreds of Chinese companies suspended dealings in their shares in a bid to arrest a frenzy of selling on China’s main stock markets, which have lost more than a quarter of their value since June.

The move, considered by many analysts to be another stumbling response to a full-blown share price crash, sparked a nervous reaction in commodity markets and sent copper prices to a six-year low.

Beijing has supported a series of market operations to halt a sharp decline in share values on the Shanghai and Shenzen exchanges over the past four weeks, but each one has been criticised for failing to restore market confidence.

Chinese shares fell on Tuesday after premier Li Keqiang’s failure to mention the deepening market crisis in a statement on the economy. Before the market opened, Li said in comments on a government website that China had the confidence and ability to deal with challenges faced by its economy. But he had nothing to say about the three-week plunge that has knocked about 30% off Chinese shares since mid-June.

He wrote War is a Racket, and won the Congressional Medal of Honor -Twice. As a Marine officer he turned in Senator Prescott Bush (GHW Bush's father), etc. for allegedly starting a coup to overthrow Franklin Roosevelt. The book basically says he realized he spent his whole life as a Marine as just being a thug for multinationals, overthrowing governments, etc. I believe he retired as a Marine General.

There are a number to pick from after in the southeast Asia not to mention South America though they might consider setting up shop in Africa as well as its a largely untapped well as far as having a massive number of sweatshops to make shit cheap.

China might get burned a bit if Greece goes but it will minor I suspect because while its alot of money for Greece to owe its not alot compared to a country like China or the US which have far larger economies.
