Short-Seller Jim Chanos: If You Invest in
China, You're 'Participating in a Scheme'
Thursday, April 3, 2014 10:38 AM
Chinese officials announced Wednesday that they will cut taxes for small
businesses and increase railway construction. The Chinese government has
implemented these "mini-stimulus" programs for years, argues Chanos,
president of hedge fund manager Kynikos Associates.
"One has to keep in mind, if you're a Western investor in stocks and bonds in
China, you are participating in a scheme, not a market," he notes. "This is
important. You are basically providing capital to them, and you might not see
any profits or dividends from them.
"China is the only major economy that knows its GDP for the year on Jan. 1,"
Chanos adds.
"Anybody who thinks that can't collapse because of too much lending has not
looked at economic history."
But Capital Economics analysts say in a commentary that the moves are
"simply reheated versions of previous announcements," AP reports.
