Now we're gonna find out why a global economy is bad news.
What China is doing is exactly the same thing the US has been doing for 5 years. Artificially propping up a failing market and crumbling economy with fake money.

China's stock market is in trouble. It's down over 20% since mid-June.
But Chinese stock brokers are trying to tell scared investors: Stop selling. Help is on the way.
On Saturday, China's 21 largest brokerage firms said they would spend a whopping 120 billion yuan (about $19.3 billion) to try to stabilize the market, according to Chinese state media. The firms will actually buy stock funds themselves.
The goal is to show regular mom and pop investors that the big players still think buying stocks is a good idea. It's a similar strategy to companies buying back their stock when they think it's undervalued.
