The new year started with sharp declines in the Chinese stock market that spooked investors around the world. But in recent weeks, conditions appear to have stabilized.

There was another China stock market crash today (Thursday) as worries about market liquidity in the nation intensified.
For U.S. investors, the China stock market crash hits close to home, because every major sell-off in China will have a massive impact on global stocks in 2016.
But first, here's why the Chinese stock market crashed today...
By Diane Alter, Contributing Writer, Money Morning -
Another China stock market crash happened again today (Tuesday) as the Shanghai Composite dropped 6.4% to close at 2,749.79.
The drop in China's stock market was attributed to a renewed slide in oil prices, and mounting concerns about capital outflows ignited a late session sell-off and sparked investor panic.
The crashing Chinese stock market has had a major impact stateside, with the Dow Jones Industrial average falling 7.5% to open 2016. That’s why we're talking with Money Morning experts about what a China stock market crash means for your money.

The Chinese stock market plunged 3.6% today (Friday) as new disappointing economic data panicked investors. The Chinese stock market has now entered bear-market territory, having dropped 20% from a high in late December.
The Shanghai Composite Index ended Friday at 2,900.97. It was the benchmark's lowest close since Dec. 8.
Here's what investors can expect now...

Chinese tech stocks are out of favor on Wall Street, but the Street's worries about China's slowing growth are greatly exaggerated.
Just look how busy shoppers are there. China's National Bureau of Statistics said retail sales rose 11% last month. Not only did that beat forecasts, but it also stands as this year's single strongest monthly increase.

Chinese corporations and investors have been hunting overseas for bigger profits, and they're finding them in the United States.
In just the first six months of 2015, Chinese companies poured a massive $6.4 billion into U.S. investments - a record half-year high.

China's grave dancers have taken great pleasure in convincing millions of investors that the nation will never succeed based on any number of erroneous arguments...
...not democratic
...not capitalist
...not worthy of world leadership
Underneath it all, this was little more than thinly veiled contempt for Beijing's 35-year-old "one child" policy. Called yousheng, the law has averted an estimated 400 million births over the years in the name of modernization and efficient resource consumption.
Now that law's been scrapped, and couples will be allowed to have two children.
The White House and much of the mainstream media wasted no time posturing after the announcement. Press Secretary Josh Earnest, for example, noted that the policy is a "positive step," but that "we also look forward to the day when birth limits are abandoned altogether." Amnesty International said bluntly that the policy change was "not enough."
They're missing the point.
China's policy reversal is the gutsiest move yet in the ongoing global financial crisis. It's a game changer of the highest magnitude. Moreover, it's great news for savvy investors.

The latest data out of China today shows China’s inflation is rising. However, it’s China’s deflation risks that have everyone talking.
The National Bureau of Statics said today (Thursday) that China’s consumer price index (CPI) rose 2% year over year in August and reached a one-year high.
But that wasn't the only statistic investors are eying today...

Global stock markets rallied today (Wednesday) as investors continue to speculate about additional China stimulus measures.

Here's what additional actions the government in China could take...

The recent meltdown in China’s stock market has caused shockwaves that have been felt throughout the global markets. It’s the first time investors have seen this, so there’s no precedent that helps them understand what’s happening… or to know how to respond.

China's Shanghai Composite lost 11.75% in August, wiping out some 150% of gains logged over the last 12 months.
Investors all over the world are growing increasingly concerned - and they should be.

Market observers continue to give short shrift to the fact that the Federal Reserve is the perpetrator of the "Red Wedding" in the markets. The Federal Reserve doesn't trust the markets. It thinks it knows better than the markets how to set the price of capital and create the conditions for economic growth.
Every once in a while, we get an errant number like the revised second quarter GDP number of +3.7% to tease us into thinking that they know what they are doing. But once we look below the headline number, we find the same weakness that has plagued the economy since the financial crisis. Years of ZIRP and QE have suffocated the economy in too much debt that will continue to smother growth for years to come.
