The USA is being picked apart by parasites and internal predators. Putin has devoted 15 years to shoring up a nation-state with purpose and unity. Russia and China will dominate the next hundred years, particularly if the birth rate in Russia can be improved.
I think China may be fucked. Everyone there is long the market down to the last fisherman. Many companies down to the tire manufacturer's have most of their assets long in the market. The Govt is propping it up the best it can and jailing those who spread "malicious lies" and "evil sellers". Normally I would say they are keeping it propped up long enough for the important people to get out and get short. At least that's how we do it in America, but n July the Govt banned major shareholders from selling for 6 months!! And short selling has been banned altogether. Shorts are the only ones in a market who have to buy and they got rid of them.
If the market really goes down, won't that bankrupt big investors? Dont' big investors support the economy?
Most of the banks are probably also insolvent and I've read "..Small retail investors in China account for an incredible 85% of trading in Chinese stocks."
Things could go very badly for the current ruling party of China if they don't keep that market propped up.
I may go to Russia though and help them with their birth rate.
Western propaganda to a certain extent. China will take short term pain, that's for sure. But they will rise in the long term. Give it 15 years.
Back of napkin, that's about 4 American presidential terms. No way you can compete without a long term vision.
