Though this managing Yuan, still hasn't blown up to the mangers' face, thanks to cushion of high level of foreign exchange reserve (depleting fast but still at $3.58 trillion), equity market has as a matter of fact.
Authorities' effort to manage the drop in country's equity index, hasn't yield much of a result as China's benchmark stock index, Shanghai Composite is down 40% from June.
Chinese authorities, in their most sincere efforts to micro-manage market has lost more than actual gains.
