That's the other thing I don't understand.  Nobody in this thread seems to be worried at all about the complete collapse of interest/trading/price in China.  If China fails to be market leader simply by turning off wash trading, and then falls significantly behind the west in price on top of that, it kinda indicates the entire price was just being propped up by fraud in the first place.  They don't call the Chinese the Jews of Asia for nothing.  They're one of the only groups on earth who can compete toe to toe vs the heebs in financial fraud.
