One of the impressively stupid measures the Chinese regulators took last week was to allow posting real estate as collateral for margin loans. As Bloomberg put it: "China Tells Investors: Go Ahead, Bet the House on Stocks".

So if enough brokerages went ahead and let their customers put up real estate as collateral--which, for now, it seems like brokerages are very reluctant to do--then as the market continues to fall there might be significant distress selling of property across China.

Which, of course, is just what they need right now.
