Fortune: China pledges money for stock rescue before military parade
The China Securities Regulatory Commission asked the country’s brokerages to pledge 100 billion yuan (about $16 billion) to a rescue fund over the weekend, in addition to buying back their own shares, Cailian and other Chinese press outlets reported Sunday night.

The news comes after other Chinese regulators stopped buying stocks directly early last week, which led to a collapse that China’s state press dubbed Black Monday and sent global stock markets reeling. Now it appears that sitting by in silence last week may not have been a policy change to let free market forces take over—the government may have just been biding its time.
The stock rescue failed, but the government is trying it again in order to remove negative headlines during the military parade. What will happen when the political tape painting ends?
