with a country engaging in these intervention isn't it interesting that investors and market participates are still able to negate the facade of these operations if the economy faces serious headwinds. why are these practices engaged if the results are sometimes short lived as oppose to just remaining focused on longer term pivots/ solutions?

Great question Emmanuel. I think it falls down to leadership, when an economy (China) is facing structural issues it's up to monetary and governmental officials to source long term solutions to provide aid and a path to recovery. One important thing is deciphering the severity of the issue at hand, if some issues, i.e a weak currency can be backstopped by a relatively simple and quick to execute solution that takes priority over long term solutions which may result in being just as effective as short term adjustments.
