On Friday, Chinese state media reported that China Credit Trust Co. warned investors that they may not be repaid when one of its wealth management products matures on January 31, the first day of the Year of the Horse. The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China sold the China Credit Trust product to its customers in inland Shanxi province. This bank, the world’s largest by assets, on Thursday suggested it will not compensate investors, stating in a phone interview with Reuters that “a situation completely does not exist in which ICBC will assume the main responsibility.”This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the bubble that is economic globalization.

With your past post of modernization of the PLA and with its money woes and corruption, will an attack of Taiwan, be used by the CPC like Argentina and the Falklands or against the USA when legitimacy of the CPC is in doubt?
ReplyDeleteBird flu? Nah.
ReplyDeleteIf we suffer its because we became overly reliant on CHinese cheap labor, that isn't so cheap anymore anyway.
Personally, I can't wait to see it happen. It will force adaptations we need anyway and see the Chinese get what they deserve.
Globalization was forcing us to adapt in the wrong way, time to correct that mistake and wipe the slate clean.
