This really would be bad news..
Chinese stocks have lost more than 30% of their value since the start of 2018. Fears of a slowing economy, rising debts and the impact of US President Donald Trump's trade war have all played a role in pushing the Chinese market lower. However, a wave of forced selling of company shares could see the market drop even more.

Analysts believe this trend is likely to exacerbate the major declines already seen in Chinese markets this year.
