Maybe the Chinese should just close their stock market until valuations catch up to prices. Lock in those gains!  I mean really lock in. 

What Loss Of Control Looks Like: Chinese Regulator Urges Traders To Rat Out "Malicious Sellers"

After pledging a whopping 10% of China's GDP, or just about $1 trillion, to its various (at last check over 40) discrete measures to prop up its collapsing market, among which such threats as arresting shorters of stock and "malicious sellers", actions which have merely slowed down the bursting of the world's biggest stock bubble in recent years, China has finally reverted to what the communist regime does best to preserve "order" – implement witch hunts in which the population rats out any criminals who dare to go against the protocols of the communist party. In this case, the targets are "malicious sellers" with the regulator adding that those found guilty of shorting will be "dealt with severely."

This is what appeared moments ago on the website of the Chinese stock market regulator, the CSRC – an interactive online box allowing "traders" to rat out anyone who sells… maliciously (as opposed to non-maliciously).

And that, dear readers, is what total loss of control looks like.

Instead of repeatting what we have said countless times about what happens when a government finally loses control of not one but numerous credit-driven bubbles of which China now has at least three (the downside is clear: social unrest, rioting, perhaps even civil war should stocks resume their crash to a fair value which BofA said last night is 50% lower from here) here is the running commentary from SCMP's George Chen, whose views on the matter are identical to ours.

Here one wonders why what the Fed and its peer central planning banks have done, by throwing trillions in fresh funds at an identical problem – of both asset values and collapsing confidence in capital markets – across the globe, is any different.

As for China, our visual summary from three weeks ago is more accurate now than ever:
