day. what does that suggest? >> well, i think as we've been alluding to, people have become accustomed, often in the chinese and domestic, local investors particularly, that the state does come in and bit of backup in times of severe selloffs like we were seeing yesterday. what happened during the afternoon and how those losses accelerated through the afternoon, they were some of the biggest afternoon losses that we've seen since back in january 2016. which is obviously very significant, and the fact that didn't see, you know, the so-called national team and the behindties getting equities and coming in to buy does tell us something about perhaps, as we were saying there with the margin debt just having slowly rampg -- ramping up. this may be a sign from the authorities, wanting to flush out a bit of this exuberance from the markets. some ofbeen alluding to

outlooks into year ends. we used to expect a rally. maybe this year we don't get it. all that good buildup come through in october. from central banks. have that, and they're taking a little bit of profit as they move into year end. to china, i think it's sentiment. some of the changes that are around regulations that are really driven to try and shore up the financial system. surprise.d come as no the chinese authorities have been clear about they want to financialprove the system, so i expect more of this kind of action. if you differentiate long term is a case term, this of a lot of short term pain. in the long term, it should lead sustainable economy in comien and lift -- in china and lift risk in the future. >> it's not just the china leveraging, but it's quite rare see state media also target specific stocks as well. mean, what do you think comes micromanaging?
