There is just not enough liquidity after hours for reliable quotes, hence bids and asks are pulled. Even from 4:00 to 4:15 PM many bid/asks are pulled, leaving a thin market. Last time I looked even Yahoo had the last bid and ask posted though (for your late night option pricing pleasure) Your observation about the parallel between China and Nazi Germany is keen.
for normal equities trading stops at 4 pm, there are no after hours quotes as the markets are closed. ETF-options remain being traded till 4:15. That's all. The reason: mm can't hedge decently in the underlying so it makes no sense for them to make markets. There will NEVER be options markets in after hours trading for this reason.
