Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of China’s central bank, said three times to a G-20 gathering that a bubble in his country had “burst,” Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said.
It came up in his explanation Friday of what is going on with China’s stock market, according to a Japanese finance ministry official.
It was China, rather than the timing of an interest-rate increase by the Federal Reserve, that dominated the discussion, according to the Japanese official,
with many people commenting that China’s sluggish economic performance is a risk to the global economy and especially to emerging-market nations.

China Market Volatility Nearing End, Says Central Bank Official
September 5, 2015 — 11:25 AM PDT
Volatility in China’s stock markets is nearing its end, a central bank official said, after Group of 20 finance chiefs flagged concerns about potential global spillovers.
The Chinese government has intervened to prevent the “free fall” of the stock market even as it feels an adjustment is “normal,” Zhu Jun,
Director-General in the People’s Bank of China’s international department said in an interview on Saturday in Ankara.
“We think it’s pretty close to the end,” Zhu said, referring to the stock-market volatility.
“To some extent the leverage in the market has been decreased substantially and we think there would be no systemic risk.”
“We think it is quite close to the equilibrium level and we think with time the pressure will be alleviated and the market sentiment will be improved,” said Zhu, referring to the yuan.
