Before "shorting" was allowed on the Chinese stock market (about 2008) thousands maybe millions of Chinese investors lost their life savings on the stock market bubbles that were created by the gambling mentality that shares in growing companies can only rise. After shorting was introduced, thing did calm down somewhat so it is now argued that you will never realise the "true" value of a share unless you allow shorting! Personally, I have never tried it and wouldn't now how.
