Beware of China markets

This article explained that the Chinese government are allowing the people to buy stocks with borrowed money, and they can even use their house as collateral to buy stocks. This move is aggressive and not sustainable.

Although Goldman Sachs and DBS CEO said that the china markets are not in a bubble yet, it could probably be the case of easing the public about the dangers of the China market.

Today, Chinese government told China state-owned firms not to sell shares despite stock market plunge with hope to stablise share prices.

If there is too much reliance on the government to influence share prices, markets may move up or down corresponding to government decisions rather than fundamentals.

As of now, i think that retail investors should still look into SGX stocks. Although SGX had reported failling liquidilty in the markets. However illiquid SGX may be, it based in Singapore and supported by a stable currency.

As SGX is highly regulated by MAS, it is for now safer to invest here than China.
