China truly stands as top risk of 2015 as the current government struggles to prevent a stock market meltdown, hard landing of economy and to manage its currency in a bid to gain a seat in IMF's currency basket.
While Time will tell, weather they fail or succeed, one thing can be told with some degree of certainty that the actions by Chinese authorities likely to have greater consequence going ahead, many which might turn things uglier.
One of such can be China's equity market.
Chinese authorities are intervening in the market in order to stem a stock market crash and curb massive volatility.
