I find this article interesting simply because of the astounding drop in trading volume. Whenever I check the futures markets in China, I don't have access to see volume (I'm just using web based charts for these markets), so I was never privy to volume and didn't think much of it. But wow, for volume to drop 99% is simply incredible. With so little volume, it opens the door up to huge manipulation in my opinion. Perhaps people don't have any more money to trade with???

Yes.. I could never understand why the government wants to cut down on shorts, and to be honest, I don't even know why a short is seen as damaging the market. Anytime someone shorts, there still has to be a buyer and a seller. Just because the seller doesn't own the contract doesn't mean the buyer is in any way manipulated to buying it.. he is convinced its going up. Can anyone explain why short selling causes downward pressure?
