Click on graph for larger image in new window.
The Shanghai SSE composite index has now lost more than two-thirds from the peak (still trading). This is the lowest level since late 2006.
And it's not just the Shanghai composite - it's an Asian market rout:
The Hang Seng is off 6.6%.
The Nikkei 225 is off 9.6%.
The Seoul Composite is off close to 6.8%.
