So... Looks like the new policy in China is an "unofficial" freeze on IPOs for certain sectors, IT, AI, Biotech, pharm companies are not allowed to IPO UNLESS their market value is capped at $150 a stock or you will get a fine and a very high (90%) tax.
Also, China just unofficially (read: not enforcing but framework is in place) rolled out international taxation like the USA this year. How to enforce? IDK. But there's going be a major fight over this between the US.
In other news, I managed to talk to a few folks who survived the hyperinflation in the Republic of China (1939-45). And a few things that I thought was noteworthy of sharing:
1) Gold/silver was king for large transactions, but also easiest to get confiscated under an "'isims" (We're all sons of the patriots now!).
2) The most inconspicuous trading material and bribe material was a bag of sugar. You could trade a bag of sugar for a gold bar. It was explained to me that it was inconspicuous enough to trade, with plausible deniability for use if caught, and could be easily hoarded/produced without drawing suspicion.
3) Beneath the bag of sugar was either a bag of tobacco, alcohol, or opium (In our days weed)
4) Then after that was food, ammo, firearms
5) Appear as poor as the same people around you unless you want free redistribution of wealth.
6) Expect old grudges and ethnic rivalries to be an issue again. If you're married in an inter-ethnic (American version would be inter-racial) or inter-religous marriage you're gonna be in the shit with the community most likely.
7) If you have a rare skill, expect to be pressganged by a local warlord.
8 ) Blood runs thicker than water. Doesn't include your SO's side of the family.
9) Setup someone to watch over nighttime. Night time raids by neighbors who hate you stupid reasons or raiders were common
