yes, it's a good reminder that capitalism doesn't actually work and needs to be propped up with bailouts to ensure it doesn't collapse and gets replaced.

Well China is trying to not bail them out, at least for now. And some others have done it before too. It's just people fear the risk of doing that, hoping that by bailing them out things won't be as bad.
