We are talking about the entire collapse of China economy to a level which is more sustainable...
If you go around China and talk to local people, u will realize the extent of the problems...
James Chanos had predicted huge amt of unsold goods back in Nov 2010 - Now we are seeing it - Soon the whole world will feel the ripples...
In January, 2011, the NY Times wrote an article on James Chanos, who predicted the Enron collapse, Tyco and other major financial issues. The article quoted him as telling Politico in November, 2010, “The Chinese are in danger of producing huge quantities of goods and products that they will be unable to sell.”
Now in 2012 we have the NY Times headline, China's economy besieged by buildup of unsold goods.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, says Chanos.
His fund has over 6 billion dollars bet on the Chinese economy collapsing.

Life and career
James Chanos was born in 1957. He was born into a Greek family living in Milwaukee.[1] he graduated from Wylie E. Groves High School, and then Yale in 1980. He describes his investment strategy as being based on "intensive research into stocks"[2] looking for fundamental and large market failures in valuation, typically based on underestimated or previously unreported failings in the business or market of a stock. Followed by committing to a (usually large) short-position which he is willing to hold for long period of time—almost the mirror image of Warren Buffett's reputed "fundamentals+long stay" investment strategy[citation needed]. Because of this model, his investments function more like those of a whistle-blower than most typical investments. Examples of this include short-selling companies such as Baldwin-United, and more recently Enron Corporation.[3]
He rose to fame in the 1980s as a short seller. After working as an analyst in several firms, he founded Kynikos (Greek for "cynic") in 1985 as a firm specializing in short selling. A critical position taken at Kynikos was his shorting of Enron.[4]
In October 2000, Chanos started research into the valuation of Enron Corporation. He examined their use of mark-to-model (opposed to mark-to-market) accounting, which, in Chanos' view, results in management overstating earnings, as well as what appeared to be a worryingly low (6-7%) return on capital investment. Enron stock declined from $90 in August 2000 to a low of $1 near the end of 2001.[5] Over this period, Chanos was a short seller of Enron during 2001, increasing his short position as more information surfaced. Kynikos profited greatly and Chanos himself became something of a celebrity as a consequence of his early awareness of Enron's problems.[6]
In 2010, James Chanos warned that China’s hyperstimulated economy was headed for a crash, not a sustained boom.[7] He questioned the stability of Chinese economy, stating that historically analogous evidence points especially to a housing bubble, mentioning commercial real estate in particular.[8]

Part of the issue is that the Chinese government’s leaders have decided to put quality-of-life concerns ahead of maximizing economic growth when it comes to two of the country’s largest industries: housing and autos.
The Chinese auto industry has grown tenfold in the last decade to become the world’s largest, looking like a formidable challenger to Detroit. But now, the Chinese industry is starting to look more like Detroit in its dark days in the 1980s.
Very bad prognosis for auto industries...Any issue with China Sunssine's sales going forwards for the next few months?
It does raise a concern with economic condition in China, and the rest of the world.
China Sunsine will be affected, but it may not reach a level to cause a dive in the company profit, and the share price.
During a crisis, probably a good time to capture market share, if the company perform better than their competitors.
