Today's Links: New bailout plans, new money for roads and airports, and experiments in democracy

China should help small investors directly, not prop up the markets. Look at Russia, spending everything they have to save their banks and currency and it may not be enough. Of course, China could become the biggest shareholder in China meaning that communists would own capitalists to maintain stability in a communist society that's paving the way towards greater capitalism. My head is spinning...

"fraud in few villages of 300,000 are no big deal."

See, here's the problem. 300,000 people is not a village.

And really- the nosedive the Shanghai stock market took will not be made up for with such a small increase. Too much money lost, too many disillusioned investors and traders. It'll be ages before it gets back to normal.

to nanheyangrouchuan boy,

fraud in few villages of 300,000 are no big deal. ccp would sure win, no matter you liked n believed it or not, especially when ccp would not choose a vice-pres hopeful who is so smart as you to call africa as a country and still insist on running again in 2012, for the world leader? haha

meanwhile you can forget your shot calling status of usa. who give a dmn to an uncle sam with empty wallet? a leader with power but without followers is called bully. I guess obama knows it better.

illiot from time mag can re-educate you n make you smarter about yourself n world:

@ leastman

Shanghai's index is already being by Beijing injections of cash to large insurance companies. And there also a few hopeful bargain hunters. You are actually measuring a one week rally vs. a 12 month dive?

And China still has not recovered from those crises, have any discussions about sicks for in a public square recently? On any BBS's?

And of course the CCP would win in a landslide, it already negates village elections when a CCP candidate does not win.

The commie pigs are more worried than confident about the post-Dalai Lama period because his words are the lid on the proverbial kettle.

---shanghai index is 1927 today with a 5 days rally and a 16% gain from bottom. its an encouraging sign. in last 20 years, china expereinced 3 crisis. it overcame each time which prove the system works better than paper tiger usa.

---what's irony, while a free election were held in china, ccp would win landslide?

---as to dalai: he should try by all means to help rescue the financial crisis with his stolen fortune from potala, so that west would not re-write tibeten history as miliband did:

helps are offered even by china, a country so poor that the only thing it has is cash.

no "irony" here.

Like it or not,if you want to push democracy forward in China,you just can't ignore the Communist Party.That's too naive and suggests you don't really know about China.
