    Now are the the stock prices shrinking because of policies that have lead to wealth redistribution? I don't know.

    Not by a long shot lol. Financial markets operate through the logic of mainstream economic theory and both western and Chinese markets convinced themselves that the real estate "crisis" is a real problem.

    That was a double attack together with the earlier months of western political economic figures bashing China over "unfair" competition and "overcapacity". The result is unfortunately the CPC listened and ended gaslighting themselves into believing there was a real consumption crisis about to happen. Again sadly no Marxist remotely agreed with this.

    The reality is that some of the problem is due to the global economic crisis with basicaly the entire world except the US(who avoids this by absorbing EU capital) and China having terrible growth or even entering recession in the EU. But you see the western hypocrisy doesn't give a shit if Germany or Britain crashes, its only the CPC that must repent if they don't keep up with their magical growth promises.

    The narrative was "China produces too much" therefore "there must be consumption incentives". No consideration is given to consumption of Chinese exports abroad e.g China "overproduces" green energy stuff because nobody else is investing in it and the US is literaly willing to ban Chinese imports than to use the opportunity to consume these products at the current lower prices.

    The policies themselves nobody actualy cares, the structural control of the CPC or their dual circulation model etc none of that is at stake(yet?), it was just gaslighting after "bad" data that gave too much credit for neoliberal mainstream theory and unfortunately the CPC isn't willing to compromise with unorthodox policies this time around.
