"The financial institutes like banks, shadow banks, investment funds, etc have lost huge amount of money"
My understanding of the core problem is - Money has to come from somewhere. It is the result of China becoming world's workshop. Chinese have 45%+ saving rate and those powered up the FIs' balance sheets. This money funded all the buying of land rights, development of housing etc. How Chinese govt. deals with these toxic balance sheets before Chinese people decide to make a run for the banks, that will determine how this crisis unfolds. Ultimately there never is free lunch, unless you are the US which can print it's way out of any problem it creates for itself - what times!
(be aware - the comment is by some anonymous guy on the Internets. Its most value maybe as a 'mildly entertaining conjecture'.
- ww520 3y agoChina has also printed a lot of money. As the currency is not freely exchangeable, it's largely unnoticed.
