Ooh, Xi, that's gotta hurt.
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Chinese markets face a day of high drama as share trading resumes with no automatic mechanism in place to restrict selling and the world watches to see if Beijing will allow its currency to fall yet further.
"And the world watches." The world's watching, Xi, don't look dumb...founded.

Xi, "haphazard"+"discordant"="going off the mag-lev rails"="dumbfounded," Xi.

They call him Flipper, Flipper, dumber than bag o' rocks.
What's the dirtiest word in the Chinese language? "Chaos."
Reuters, NYT, Bloomberg. That's three strikes, Xi.
