Here's a conspiracy theory...China is not smashing its' tech industry. The CCP could be repositioning [financially] within the sector. Step 1 is to add regulation - which depresses market prices and gives the state more power. Step 2 is to swoop in and buy as much as is available at the [newly] depressed prices.

It's unlikely, but in their position it's what I would want to do.
