How worrying is China's slowdown?

I'm not sure what this means but apparently the Chinese stock market is down 28% from last year which is, in turn, causing slowdowns in other economies. Is this due to bubbles or is it just normal plateau?

I'm not sure if this is the time, but sooner or later China's partially command economy where business has to serve political ends will run into the same problems that command economies always face.

China has put off the day of reckoning by their allowing businesses to exist alongside the state industries, but that only puts off the problem.

Nothing grows forever. Not even the Chinese economy.
There is a global slowdown, a global debt like never before and the mother of all bubbles is about to pop, if it hasn't already. The next couple of years are going to be epic!

I think it's going to be an excuse for people to raise prices and gouge everybody.
Here's a business secret.....
We don't look for an "excuse" to raise prices.
We raise'm any time we think the market will allow us too.

Highly regulated businesses do need justifications to raise prices though.
