China has been in the eye of the financial market storm since mid-2015. The country's onshore stock market floored in July last year, when it lost more than one-third of its value in just 30 days, and again in January 2016. The currency has also been volatile. The Chinese government devalued the renminbi in a surprise move in August 2015, leading to a 5% fall against the dollar.
Investors’ often amplified fears about China’s economic slowdown are part of the problem. But Chinese regulators also need to learn how to deal with investors, especially foreign ones, as they work towards financial market liberalisation.
