What is The China Hustle about? Toggle content

In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, investment firms in the US sought to capitalize on the "China growth story" by selling opportunities to unsuspecting Americans. They convinced small Chinese companies to undergo reverse mergers with defunct American companies, allowing them to be listed on the NYSE overnight. The hype surrounding these companies was fueled by paid appearances by influential figures like Bill Clinton and Henry Kissinger at investment conferences. However, the stocks of these companies eventually crashed, leaving unsuspecting investors with worthless stocks in their 401(k)s. The documentary investigates the collusion between US investment firms and Chinese companies, revealing that the actual revenues of these firms were often only a fraction of what was reported to the SEC. Despite some firms being de-listed from the NYSE, the lack of regulatory oversight in Chinese securities fraud continues to this day.
