Late last week, hedge fund guru turned philanthropist George Soros penned a strong warning in an op-ed for the FT. Soros wrote that those who investors who are believing "reassuring" messages from Beijing are being deceived:  "Xi does not understand how markets operate. Xi regards all Chinese companies as instruments of a one-party state. Investors buying into this rally are facing a rude awakening." The excellent analysis republished below, below by FT columnist Merryn Somerset Webb, reaches similar conclusions. For me, her final paragraph brings it all together.
