China Woes Send Stocks Into Tailspin

Xiao Wang, chairman, China Securities Regulatory Commission, March 2013 -
07/08/2015
Wang is former head of the Bank of China, one of four large state owned banks. A WSJ report shows that under Wang as CEO of the bank in 2009 it was the least profitable and the most likely to ramp up lending at the government's request. As a savy politician he was appointed to the Party Central Committee in 2012 and to the position at the regulatory body in March 2013. In efforts to meet party directions Wang has moved in conflicting directions, clamping down on margin financing and as the market selloff worsened even loosened restrictions for loans on homes to invest in the market. The huge surge in the market and the Shanghai and Shenzen stock exchanges is now followed by a selloff in July 2015, which the government has no experince in handling following China's experiment with its own state oriented form of capitalism since 1990. The government plans to allow state owned enterprises with large debt to reduce the debt by investing in a surging market may be based on an erroneous assumption on how equity markets work. Lack of prior experience with equity markets on the downside is another handicap in China.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
