tiny share market much of the equity is still in the form of state shares the remaining in hands of either the unaware or the speculators who are and have been stuck for awhile the bag holders, as in any society that has a government that is answerable to the ruled population, would be the tax payers, because the pain will ALWAYS find its way to the banks, and so to the tax payers, meaning just about everybody the index has been going down forever, and no harm so far, because there is little direct leverage involved the state shares had been held by the state since 1949, and so a few more years hardly matters bubbles do not kill leverage in the bubble kills

Lots of tiny speculating shareholders in China. Amazing the supposed numbers of accounts etc. given the small size of the market. Most "China" investment vehicles are invested primarily in Hong Kong via mainland firms listed there or in ADRs listed in the US. They have performed much better. On the China Fund (CHN) website there is a nice graphic showing the number of listed companies by province as well as HK and Taiwan. It makes so clear how little such development there is in the mainland yet.
