As one commentator on NPR observed this morning, the Chinese government is fine with capitalism as long as the market is rising. When it falls, it's time for a dose of socialism.
One reason for concern is the composition of the group of more recent investors. The recent investors are less well-educated and less-experienced than their predecessors and threw their savings into the stock market as the bubble grew. They were entirely unprepared when the market fell. Then again, I don't know how well prepared I was when my retirement savings fell by half in 2007-2008.

China does have enough to buy the market up. But that is only temporary. Their best hope is for the small mom and pop players to cash out so the gov can let the market do the correction. if nothing else, it will teach government officials to keep their mouth shut about the stock market.

Hong Kong used equity purchases during the Asian Financial Crisis in the 90's to counter aggressive short sellers to stabilize their market, while Malaysia used capital controls to stop western currency speculators back in 2001 (and both actions coming to good effect), so an intervention action by the PRC gov to stabilize things is well within the sound course of action to implement, as opposed to the "free-market" ideologues demanding things their way.

Trump got something right, unfortunately.

So heard from a source that there will be massive US and world wide stock crash in the next 24 days, somewhere or around the Fed meeting in mid September . But as illiteracy on economic as I am, I can't quite understand or confirm the whole theory and concept.
So anyone know more about this?

And economic crashes are like The End of the World. At any one time someone somewhere would always believe the world is going to end. It really isn't new, much like those with "End is Near" signs. Look, what is going to happen is that China is going to spend a lot of its reserves to bail out the stock market. And things go back to normal. Catastrophic crashes are like plane accidents, unless you are involved there is no reason to worry. Deal with it as it comes.

But once again, we will see in 3 weeks. I means, It's not like he said "the sky is falling" or something. He just said that, that is how the trend he predicted it will be, and ask is it worth to earn 4-5% more at the risk of losing up to 80% of your saving (depend where you invest in). I don't invest on stock market through. So I do not care as much. But it will be quite a show if it really could be seen so far ahead and still no one can avoid it

I am thinking of shorting as much of it down as I can.
Still here are a couple of interesting reads. How Do Asset Bubbles Cause Recessions? By Investopedia 1930s Lessons: Brother, Can You Spare a Stock?

But eh, too late for them to pull out now I suppose since China is already too heavily intertwined with the system

Short selling could kill all of these idiots and make a fortune doing so.

Only if you have the means. China is willing to ban short selling and force you to be left holding the bag. Until the situation improves, no one knows how far China is willing to go.

Still they are playing the take-you-with-me card. They are dumping US Treasury holdings to keep the yuan afloat. Given how liquid the US Treasury bonds are, I wouldn't be surprised if people would buy it, toss it around, short it when it goes down, buy more at the bottom for the yield, hedge against it, repackage it to sell to less investment savvy people......so much you can do with these pieces of paper.
