Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

An eye opening account of what is going on Globally circling the China growth story. How the American wealthy, and the President is trying to cover up one of the biggest hustles in the history of capitalism. This should be seen by everyone everywhere, even those who don't directly invest in capital markets.

Basically this is a cycle of greed that is natural among humans, so there are no good guys in the film as it aptly pointed out in the first few minutes.A. so you have the investment bankers and lawyers encouraging micro Chinese businesses to enlist through reverse mergers in USA so can make a fee. B. The CEOs of these small Chinese businesses do it so they can get more funding for their businesses and make a killing on the shares they already own. Some of them just outright steals from the company later on. C. Short sellers finding their reporting too good to be true and does genuine due diligence and discovers fraud. They short the stock and publishes their findings. Again they make money.The Chinese cannot be prosecuted because they're in China, and the government doesn't want to do anything about it.I don't like how this geo investing guy acts like some robin hood trying to stand up for the people. He knows it's all about making a buck otherwise he would distribute the short profits to the investors of the companies he shorted. So basically the film is saying that when there's opportunity for money to be made, people will do it be it legal or not; aka greed.

NOTHING China does surprises me. This documentary put a lot of people in the hot seat- as it should. The only way to beat them is to expose them. Keep up the good fight!It's downright criminal how they robbed people. How is this not like robbing a bank? I definitely recommend this. It should be mandatory in our schools. Z3

The documentary highlights a little-known scam on the US stockmarket: the fraudulent sale of so-called "high growth" Chinese stocks through reverse takeovers of so-called shell companies. In itself that story would have been worthy of consideration. However, the producers and director have elected to weave this into a critical narrative of capitalism and the US economic institutions which distracts from the main story. One of the highlights of the movie is when they document how little US banks, regulators, stockbrokers, investors, etc. knew about China in the first place. This story was not so much about the corruption or weakness of US institutions against the alleged malevolence of scheming Chinese (and American) stock-pushers, but about the ignorance of Americans about the rest of the world. I'm holding my breath about the sequel to come about the next wave of sham investments about India, Africa, or another place Americans know little about.
