Summary: The PBOC’s effort to kick start the economy of China has backfired instead.  A parallel is drawn up between current China market and the “Black Monday” of Oct 19, 1987. Right after “Black Monday,” the Fed encouraged banks to continue to lend to one another on their usual terms, which boosted investors confidence in the central bank’s ability to clam sever market downturns.

Instead of lending to companies and stimulate growth, Chinese banks channeled their money to brokers; a more profitable lending practice. These brokers, in turn, financed investors’ stock purchases and increase the value of stocks superficially.
