China's national team players are reluctantly propping up the stock market

This is via an opinion piece from Reuters, saying the support for 'national team' buying of stocks (intervention to prop up the market) is only tepid.

Reuters says:

  • More than 1,100 companies led by battery giant CATL have responded by spending $9 bln buying back shares in Shanghai and Shenzhen so far this year
  • Yet that’s only a tepid increase from 2022 when firms spent about 60 billion yuan on share buybacks

Despite the increase Reuters says that "Corporate support looks half-hearted".

It's a tricky argument to make given the increase though.
