It would be unlike the Chinese government to leave the stock market to, well, the market. I'm not concerned with the intervention as it's consistent with the Chinese approach to their economy. It's interesting but I don't think it reflects an underlying weakness with the Chinese economy.

Good point on the data quality; I agree that the data is questionable. It may be that the Chinese government is working so hard at trying to prop up the stock market since there is more transparency on the data. Other economic indicators (GDP, inflation, unemployment) can be easily fixed before the public sees them. This is much more difficult with the stock market.
