THE CHINA HUSTLE

History has judged capitalism to be the winner. With the exception of a handful of countries\u2014Venezuela, North Korea, Cuba\u2014all follow the tenets of capitalism whether they announce themselves as capitalists or not. And theoretically, capitalism is the most form of economy that has integrity; that is, if you do good for others, make the products that people actually want, you will get rich. However there is another way of looking at this: if you get away with stealing from the people, you can also get rich. Or as Balzac said \u201cBehind every fortune there is a great crime.\u201d The latter opinion gets cinematic treatment in Jed Rothstein\u2019s \u201cThe China Hustle.\u201d <\/p>\n

When I visited China in 1985 the country was a lot different from the way it is now. The street in Shanghai that was to resemble New York\u2019s Fifth Avenue was a dark and dismal place, its stores pathetic haunts with shoddy goods, but at least the Chinese people were able to afford them. Tipping was not permitted. China was Communist in word and deed. Flash forward to 2018 and China has become the second largest economy, threatening to knock the U.S. off its pedestal as the world\u2019s leading producer. The country that houses 1.3 billion people calls itself Communist, but though Mao\u2019s portrait remains in Beijing\u2019s Tiananmen Square, the Chinese people according to some are the most eager in the world to amass great wealth.<\/p>\n

Still, some companies are shady at best. While the Chinese government forbids foreigners from owning stock in its corporations, leave it to those in America with the most vivid profit-making ideas to find a way around the law. The technique described in Rothstein\u2019s documentary, called the reverse merger, is for Chinese companies to creep into the American stock exchanges like Trojan horses. When an American company is about to go belly-up but is still listed on our stock exchanges, a Chinese company pulls a reverse merger. This means that the foreign company enters the American one like a dybbuk, merging with a dying American corporation while operating in China. Hedge fund managers and financial companies would solicit investment from rich Americans, using the ecstatic balance sheets to convince all that huge profits can be made. Who needs Bernie Madoff when so many other clever capitalists can do the same?<\/p>\n

There is one trouble: some Chinese companies vastly overstate their revenues and prospective futures even though they are heading south just like the defunct American businesses. It\u2019s only the balance sheets that are raves. When some crafty Americans visiting China took note, discovering that the factories in no way enjoyed the traffic they claimed, they could have blown the whistle to expose them. Instead, these would-be muckrakers, aware that the bad news is around the corner and that the stocks would soon race for the basement, they sold the stocks short, a technique that allows investors to borrow stock from the brokers. Then, when the stock goes way down, return the stock to the brokers by repurchasing at the lower price. (See Wikipedia for a full explanation of \u201cselling short\u201d at https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Short_(finance).<\/p>\n

Rothstein\u2019s doc hands the stage to people who have profited by this scam. As one leading financial manager states, \u201cThere are no good guys here. Not even me.\u201d The film does not overstay its welcome at just 84 minutes and is reasonably easy to understand unless you\u2019re a North Korean and have never heard the term \u201cstock market.\u201d Its editing is snazzy, meaning lots of bells and whistles such as you\u2019d find in an action drama. It serves as ample warning: caveat emptor. Let the buyer beware. If any two words summarize the lessons taught, they are: Trust nobody. Do not take expert opinions except with a grain of salt, as Bernie Madoff\u2019s investors learned the hard way. <\/p>\n

Do I have to warn readers that Donald J. Trump should not be trusted? He recently pushed through and signed legislation that he said would deregulate 70% of the corporate world, as though he never heard of the market crash of 2008. If there\u2019s anything that could be said of \u201cThe China Hustle\u201d it\u2019s that its lessons have not been absorbed by people who should learn from them lest they wind up selling apples on the street to make a living.<\/p>\n
