    I’ve read that they’re trying to lessen the share of the GDP but an uncontrolled crash would still be horrible. Hopefully whatever they do that is avoided.

      It is more than that. China significantly invested in infrastructure for a generation, which was generally good. However, China has hit a point where infrastructure investment won’t produce the returns it used to or any at all. China also needs to figure out a way to find municipal governments, which it hasn’t before. China also has to deal with a significant drop in economic growth, something it hasn’t dealt with for a generation.

      These are novel problems for the Chinese government.
