China’s ‘Imminent Collapse’
Gordon Chang (2001): The end of the modern Chinese state is near. The People's
Republic has five years, perhaps ten, before it falls. This book tells why.
As Chang discovered, China is a nation of contradictions.
Many of its state industries are virtually bankrupt; its banking system sits on a mountain of unrecognized bad debts; its agriculture is primitive; pollution is out of control; and government interference and corruption are killing off a number of new business ventures...
— The New York Times, September 9, 2001

Problematic Listing Process
BAT---Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent all publicly listed—abroad
• Each IPO must be approved by the CSRC, and
now explicit quotas allocated to different regions • Firms must also show profits in 3 consecutive
years, among other financial requirements • Initial purpose of setting up stock market was to
help privatization of SOEs • Firms with connections to regulators are more likely
to be listed

• Also, listed firms make larger but less inefficient investment (8% capital exp/assets compared to 3.5% in US and yet lower net cash flows)
• Controlling shareholders divert assets by providing loan guarantees to related parties (deficiencies in corporate governance)

Why Stock Market Reform is key
• Resources flow into real estate
• Major real distortions
• Deprives source of funding for consumption and service, high tech sectors
• Risk and rising household saving

Overview of China’s Financial Markets 1. 2001-2011: China’s stock market is 63% of GDP
(compared to 57% for average of major EM) 2. Value traded (size of market): 82% of GDP
(compared to 29% in EM) 3. Bank Credit/GDP: 111% compared to 40% in EM 4. NPLs/Loans at 11% compared to 8% (low
efficiency) 5. Bank credit more important than stock market
compared to EM, also comparatively less efficient than markets, and by law commercial banks face tighter restrictions
