Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The slump is causing investor gloom and a deepening selloff in Chinese stocks. Profitability remains the biggest concern, as China's strength in production and exports is not consistently translating into earnings.

Economic reports show that while profits grew in the US and Japan, China's profit growth rate has dropped sharply, confirming a recessionary environment.
