China Stocks Sink Most Since 2007 as State-Induced Calm Shatters
China's stocks tumbled, with the benchmark index falling the most since June 2007, amid concern a three-week rally sparked by unprecedented government intervention is unsustainable.

The Shanghai Composite Index plunged 8.5 percent to 3,725.56 at the close, as 75 stocks dropped for each that rose. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index sank 4.2 percent at 3:03 p.m. in Hong Kong, extending the world's worst decline in the past month.

Monday's retreat shattered a sense of calm that had fallen over mainland markets last week, raising questions over whether government efforts to prop up prices are viable amid weak economic growth. China's industrial profits fell 0.3 percent in June from a year earlier, the statistics bureau reported on Monday. The International Monetary Fund has urged China to eventually unwind its support measures, according to a person familiar with the matter.

"Today's rout in China poured cold water on investor sentiment," said Mari Oshidari, a Hong Kong-based strategist at Okasan Securities Group Inc. "This also revealed the market is still too fragile without government support."

I have a hunch that the China stock market isn't too healthy at the moment. Or as Bill Paxton in Aliens succinctly put it: "Game over man, game over!"
 
Most of the drop happened after the ASX had closed for the day, so I doubt the miners will have a good day tomorrow
 
The SSE 50, comprising the 50-largest firms by market cap in Shanghai tumbled by over 9%.

Back down it goes! another 8.5%

Just heard that they are expecting 10% drop tomorrow, which is the maximum any one stock is allowed to drop in a day, and hence the maximum average drop.
Essentially abandon ship!
 
It was China that saved Western capitalism from itself in 2009. But it is now the biggest threat to a lasting recovery, and financial markets have just woken up to the idea, writes Ian Verrender.

It doesn't take much to rattle investors these days.

The global economy is riddled with contradictions and beset by a niggling sense that the next global financial meltdown is just around the corner.

Even my old mate Rupert succumbed late last week and began mongering his very own fear, indulging his newfound love of the Twit to ruminate on his vision of Armageddon.

Rupe and I don't often see eye to eye on many issues but, on this one, he's nailed it. If his concerns, or fears if you will, appear contagious, it's mostly because they contain a compelling logic.

Friday night saw Wall Street notch up its worst performance in four years with a 531-point drop, a slump of 3.1 per cent. Last week, it seems, America woke up to the idea that all is not well in the world.

That all this has come as a surprise is the biggest surprise of all. Company earnings have been uninspiring for years, with earnings driven by cost cutting rather than spending, corporate investment globally has been poor and the only reason stock markets have risen to records is that, with interest rates so low, there has been nowhere else to park money.

For more than three years, Wall Street's bond and equity markets have been involved in an epic and unprecedented battle of wills, with wildly diverging views of the global economy.

Both have surged to records which, in effect, means bond traders have been betting the

If only all the Chinese would work hard and get good jobs, paying good wages.
