      Come on, you know it's true. You didn't have to be a die-hard communist to join the CPSU. It was mostly a chance to advance.

        As an aside, I would like to hear more about the secret toxic pile of Chinese debt. Any references you have would be appreciated.
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

          Well...they did buy a lot of mortgage bonds.

              It's from a drunk conversation with a Scot hedge fund manager. He thinks and has some proprietary and bought research (he also probably showed it to me...) that the size of bad loan portfolio of Chinese banks exceeds the country's external reserves.

                By the way, here is a working link to World Bank statistics...


                "Temporarily Unavailable"

                Seems like a bad link unless the whole world bank site is down.

                Besides the stats published by the dictator of Belarus are worth less then the rigged stats published by China. It honestly reminds me how the USSR would declare a five year plan, fail to meet the goals, then announce they'd succeeded anyway.

                  A few years back the Economist ran an article on Chinese banks and if I recall correctly most of the bad loans were to state owned enterprises which the government essentially requires the banks to make if they want to stay in business. Basically China doesn't want the government owned businesses going bust all at once so they're forcing banks to subsidize them.

                    So it's all an empty shell then.

                    • I was under the impression that the Chinese banks recently had been in part recapitalized.
