China Bans Use Of Terms “Equity Disaster” And “Rescue The Market"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Although it’s not possible to know exactly what the mood is among Party officials in China regarding the inexorable slide in stock prices that’s unfolded over the course of the last three weeks, it’s reasonable to assume that at least some officials in Beijing are in the throes of Politburo panic after watching some $3 trillion in market value disappear into thin (and probably polluted) air. 

Amid the turmoil, China has resorted to an eye-watering array of policy maneuvers, pronouncements, and plunge protection schemes aimed at arresting the slide.

Nothing has worked.

Not suspending compulsory liquidation for unmet margin calls, not billions in committed market support from brokerages, not a PBoC backstop for the CFSC, and not even a ban on selling by the Social Security Council. 

For reference, here (courtesy of Bloomberg) is an annotated chart of the wild ride Chinese stocks have had in 2015:

And so, with every attempt to manipulate the market higher falling flat in the face of selling pressure from the hairdresser/ farmer/ banana vendor day trading crowd (which has now thrown in the towel on the whole “it’s easier than farm work” theory and now just wants to break even and head for the hills) the only thing left for China to do is “fix” the narrative.

In other words, when banning selling doesn’t work, the logical next step is to ban talking about selling. Here’s FT with more:  

Shares have shed some 30 per cent of their value since mid-June, punishing small investors, some of whom have borrowed heavily to jump on board what had been a spectacular bull run.

 

“There is a panic but no matter how they [the authorities] jump in, this thing just doesn’t stop falling,” said Dong Tao, regional economist at Credit Suisse in Hong Kong.

 

Analysts said the more Beijing does the more it risks creating a perception of desperation, particularly if its efforts have no discernible effect.

 

“All this activity has supported a view that policy makers are in a state of panic,” wrote Mark Williams at Capital Economics. 

 

“The financial system is about trust and transparency, but we’re not getting either from the government,” said Dee Sum, a 35-year-old banker in Hong Kong, whose family has sustained heavy losses on the stock market in recent weeks.

 

One domestic journalist, who did not want to be named, said the government had banned local media from using the terms “equity disaster” and “rescue the market” in their reports on the stock market.


So apparently, Beijing will now prevent journalists from accidentally jawboning the market lower so that Party mouthpiece media outlets are free to jawbone the market higher. 

Needless to say, we doubt if this hail mary attempt to rescue the market will do anything at all to save China from its homemade equity disaster.

The reason why pure democracy doesn't work with freedom is that a significant majority will trade their freedom for a little bit of security, even false security. The responsibility for their own welfare evidently has a higher liability than their serfdom.

Markets as we now know them, are an illusion that requires nothing more or less than the confidence, the faith, of its participants. In that environment, those charged with saving us have no other choice but to lie to us, manipulate us, in order to preserve that confidence. On a base level we all understand that a certain level of faith and optimism is required if we are to accomplish much of anything, but we have drifted so far from reality, so far from anything that would or should engender confidence, that we are forced to kneel to the absurd, deny reality formidably in our face. False gods stand on legs of clay. Because it has worked thus far has given them the confidence to believe it can be sustained forever, so they, the "architects" of this delusionary gambit, are suffering from a false sense of confidence as bad if not worse than the public they sought to manipulate.

They may well have run the car off into the ditch in 08, but I fear we are headed for a cliff now. There will be no coming back, or becoming "unstuck". Who is handed keys next will be meaningless.

The farmer, looking for maximum efficiency from his livestock production, hit upon the idea of mixing a small amount of sawdust into the feed grain. This seemed to work pretty well, the cattle none the worse off for it, so he upped the sawdust content. Again, everything seemed to be working fine. Sure the cattle weren't putting on much weight and seemed a little lethargic, but the feed was cheap. So he decides to go for the ultimate cost savings and starts feeding his animals 100% sawdust. Everything again seemed fine until one morning he comes out to check his herd to discover them all dead. At this pint he becomes totally irate as he feels completely cheated as just when he had got he feed bill to zero, the damned cattle all up and died. As a leading edge progressive, he will never see his sawdust as the cause of the cattle's death, only the failure of the cattle to appreciate what he was trying to accomplish.

but the Chinese have been doing it right, building factories etc. The only thing they should have not imitated, two words: central banking system and especially cutting those damned rates. They should not have done that.

I have something else to add about the interest rates: I have found an old video of Putin speaking about the Russian economy and interest rates and it is very interesting. The West has been critising the Russian economy so much, without even looking at it more closely. Or perhaps because they looked at it closely and were terrified to see that Russia completely refuses the liberal economic model??? How dare they?? And without even taking into consideration that the Russian economy has really started only in 2000 (when Putin came to power). Before that you had chaos and looting, no real economy at all, and before that you had communism. So they really have had just these short 15 years, when they could have built something!!!  I would say, for this very short time they have had, it is pretty amazing what they have achieved. And that is also why their middle class has steadily kept growing. The most interesting points: Putin: 1) "Why are our interest rates so high? On purpose. We want no bubbles, thank you." 2) "The government is trying to find other ways to support the economic growth (than through the banks), though I admit we are still not efficient enough." 3) "One of the ways we increase growth is by increasing the real income of the population, which is very much criticised by our counterparts - liberal economists:-)"   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCW1vMCVzuo

Well, one thing they obviously haven't banned yet is selling gold!

It just seems as if ZH has banned any objective thinking about gold, because it's always "market manipulation" when gold is down, and "a bubble" when it's something else.

"Who the fuck would be selling gold..."

People who are pretty sure they can buy it back cheaper in the future.

Look at '08. Gold tanked and there was no supply problem. These so-called "supply problems" are just bullshit rumours that sell-side bullion dealers spread in order for you to keep on trying to catch that falling knife.

Remember, bullion dealers make a percentage on the spot price as a commission, so the higher they can convince (read: scare!) you into buying, the higher their commission.

If you were Peter Schiff (Euro Pacific Precious Metals) or any of the gold dealers like Mike Maloney or Eric Sprott that frequently appear as 'guests' here on ZH or KWN, wouldn't you rather sell gold at $1150 (and pocket for example a 10% sales commission of $115) or instead selling gold at $800 and only pocket $80 as a sales commission?

Announce a market holiday and then say that the Chinese government will buy a trillion dollars worth of stocks when market opens and all pension funds must invest at least 35% of their money in Chinese stocks.

Shorts in the land of the free have been exterminated by similar policies by the Fed.  Why should China not follow the example of the leader of the free world?

The government was hoping that, having undertaken market-boosting measures—including the provision of funds, moves against short selling, bans on the issuing of initial public offerings to maintain the flow of cash into existing stocks, and a directive to the state pension fund to buy and not sell—the market would have lifted significantly. But yesterday’s reaction only raised further questions about its capacity to halt the slide.

According to Fraser Howie, managing director of Newedge Singapore, who is regarded as an expert on Chinese capital markets: “Clearly the reaction from the market was nowhere near what was hoped for. When you look at the raft of measures … everything including the kitchen sink was thrown at the market and yet the performance come the end of the day was pretty dismal, frankly.”

The extent of the government’s concern is reflected in a propaganda offensive conducted by the government-owned press, which described the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership as “capable and confident” of ensuring that markets remain “stable and sound.”

An editorial published yesterday in the People’s Daily, the CCP’s major newspaper, said: “It is an urgent task to bring the A-share market [those stocks only quoted in renminbi] back to a rational track, as volatility of the market is detrimental to the sound and stable development of the capital market.”

It is not only the capital markets that are threatened. The crisis threatens to pass into the broader economy under conditions where growth is at its lowest levels in almost quarter of a century. Most predictions are that Chinese growth will not reach its official target of around 7 percent this year and could fall as low as 4 percent.

It will soon come here too. The propaganda machines of CNBC, BNN and others will need to go full speed when the USA stocks are going to crash. The PPT will have a hard time to control the big margin reset and the big balloon from deflating.

They've been doing a stealth-dump for quite a while now. Some have been sold off directly, but most of the $Treasuries they still seem to be sitting on have actually been used as collateral for loans from the larger American banks. Why? To fund infrastructure projects all over the world, including railway and mining projects in Africa and all of the various projects associated with the development of the new 'Silk Road.' 

America has been hoisted on its own petard.

Welcome to the "Western Banking Cabal Infiltration Association"(WB-CIA); they "jack" you up in order to "squeeze" you hard and that is what is happening.  However, there will be unintended consequences to follow.  This may turn into a real "blood-bath" for all the markets except for one; can you guess which one?  Precious metals are down. 

---------------------------------

BTW - Windows 10 is coming out and now our computers are getting nice reminders to upgrade to Windows 10; that would be a downgrade as it is the "jack of all" and master of none.  Microsoft can't seem to figure out what Apple knew; one OS for your core customers and one for smaller devices. 

----------------------------

When Windows 10 is officially launched, the stock will go up and in 6 months, short the stock and keep your Windows 7 and perhaps buy an extra copy or two of Windows 7 pro while you can, but do not upgrade..you may not be able to downgrade, which is what I believe Microsoft's plan is.  Those so-called "fixes" is what brings you that nice message to upgrade to Window's 10; is that really a fix of ad-ware?  I digressed.

In light of the ultra pathetic Windows 8, it's highly doubtful that Windows 10 would even come close to being a "jack of all trades"

If Tyler would stop to ponder the huge disparity between what the Chinese are doing, as they set up currency-swap trading facilities around the world, have amassed tens of thousands of tons of gold, and established the new anti-IMF BRICS AIIB development bank, 'he' might also begin to suspect that the Chinese government may just be deliberately crashing their own stock market as a method of augmenting a contagious collapse in the West. It is, after all, a lot cheaper than war, and many Chinese have no doubt actually read Sun Tsu.

I do not believe that the Chinese feel that the pure speculation of a stock/casino --which here in the criminally financialized US has become essential to 'GDP' and, if it "crashes," is something akin to Armageddon-- has any lasting meaning in the grander Asian worldview and vision of their future. 

In brief, I think it just possible that this is merely an extension of the ongoing global currency war.

The hierarchy of command and control is layered. So, if you were planning to introduce gold-backed trading notes --which the Chinese most certainly do-- and establish your money as a world reserve currency, then it would not occur to you to trash a purely speculative,  fiat-based stock market, even your own, as a tool to expedite that end? 

You must think that geopolitics is a pretty straight-forward affair.

Where is the Chinese Prunge Protection Team?

 

It must give them severe cognitive dissonance that the colour red is used to denote loss and failure on those stock market indicators.  Also they can't ban the colour red. Culturally it should be white. Or yellow. You'd think that as they most likely manufactured the LEDs themselves, they'd have thought of that.
