The financials of the Chinese companies are whatever the Chinese Communist Party wants them to be. They do not allow outside third-party audits. There is no verification of anything. The Chinese intervention began with DiDi, spread to the tech companies, enlarged to the educational sector, and then found its way into the gaming companies.

Shares in China continue to post sharp year-to-date losses vs. an otherwise upside bias for global stocks, based on a set of exchange-traded funds tracking the world's major equity regions through yesterday's close (Aug. 25). Some investors see opportunity in beaten-down shares, but there's still a wide-ranging debate as the market prices in higher uncertainty driven by the vagaries of Beijing's evolving policy agenda.

Widespread flooding, tough social distancing measures at ports, chip shortages and far tighter regulation in some industries - these are all big challenges facing the Chinese economy right now. New and traditional infrastructure projects could provide a lifeline.

China's tech stocks slumped to new lows on Friday and Hong Kong's benchmark index hit a 10-month low as an unrelenting series of Chinese regulatory crackdowns crushed international investors. Further, China announced tougher rules on competition in the tech sector again, and they also summoned executives at several property developers warning them to reduce their debt significantly. The Chinese media also reported looming regulations for a new sector - liquor makers.

5 Best CEFs To Buy This Month (August 2021)

Since I started going to China 36 years ago, I have found that most Western observers who do not have direct contact with policymakers and don't follow in detail the patterns of the changes have tended to not believe that the Chinese Communist Party's usage of capital markets to foster development is real. In the case of the educational tutoring companies, they want to reduce the educational inequality and the financial burden on those who are desperate to have their children have these services but can't afford them by making them broadly available.

A Crack In China's Debt Foundations

China's growth trajectory in the second decade of the century has been one of a rebalancing toward a new growth pattern. Two major challenges in the rebalancing: First, the transition toward a less investment- and export-dependent growth model has been taking place from a starting point of exceptionally low consumption-to-GDP ratios.

China's Economic Rebalancing

Both manufacturing and non-manufacturing PMIs show a strong recovery of the Chinese economy. The main challenges remain the technology war with the US and its allies and a fragile export recovery due to Covid-19 in the Western world.
