SHANGHAI: China's bond market, the world's second largest, is on edge following a turbulent week in which the central bank started intervening heavily to stem a plunge in yields even as the economy is struggling.

The Shanghai-based fund manager said there's no reason to throw in the towel without seeing clear signs of economic improvement, and his strategy is to"buy on the dip".
