I guess it's "warfare via equity markets" if you didn't exit the trade soon enough.

But what would you call it when American investors make boatloads of money investing in Chinese stocks? And should the US regulate away their ability to earn those returns?

Since US investors can also lose money when US companies default, should investors also be prevented from investing in those too?

Incidentally, this "protect investors" logic is the same reason for the accredited investor regulations that prevent the masses from investing in startups.
