Overview

• China's economy is struggling with a real estate downturn, mounting debt, historic youth unemployment, and an exodus of foreign investment.
• Beijing is considering a $278 billion rescue package to stabilize markets and restore investors' confidence following massive outflows of foreign capital last year.
• Despite these measures, experts remain skeptical about the effectiveness of the rescue package, citing that boosting stocks won't solve the other issues plaguing the economy.
• China's central bank announced a $140 billion liquidity injection for the banking system, its largest 'economic first aid package' in two years.
• Upcoming company earnings may present additional challenges for the markets, with analysts predicting major downward earnings estimates revisions.
