Gee oh golly. Since the first one worked so well, why not repeat it's success to the demise of the taxpayer, with all this bullshit, inefficient, interventionist government pork!!! I mean, the government has already put the taxpayer on the hook for 12 trillion (with 2 trillion in direct...

Fly away, Agent Starling. j/k

Yes to the first part, no to the second. American has China under its large toe right now. China can demand to be paid back and can choose to refuse to keep buying U.S. debt, but it would be at its own peril. Serious peril.

Exactly. This is China's great dilemna. Even with 4x the number of consumers as the U.S., they can't seem to get their own consumers to pick up the lost consumers on foreign shores,

It's an even more intimate relationship than that. I see China has totally backtracked on the "we want another global reserve currency than just the USD" talk of just the last month. I'll post the link when I find it. China is coming to quick realization that they are far more dependent...

asiaprop, I'll make this simple, not because I think you're stupid, but because I think you're comments indicate a basic level of either denial or ignorance: What happens when the one market that China ships 30% of its manufactured goods to cuts back on importing those goods by 41% (up until...

I will post the OP again, which I almost never do - but I feel some here don't understand or believe the gravity of China's problems. Why would a Chinese Official in such a central role and prominent position sound this particular alarm bell? Give me a good answer. I'm all ears.

The USD may actually be king of all, despite protestations to the contrary, as foreign economies, including those in many emerging markets, do a kamikaze dive.

The China 'story,' when all the real facts are revealed, will be the bombshell story over the next several years. It will destroy the myth that China is destined to rise to the role of the world's biggest economy in the next 25 years, let alone 50. China built its economy on what is...

asiaprop, I am sorry you seem so defensive. This thread wasn't an attempted slam on China, but to mention the important implications of a Chinese Economy that's cratering fast. Hundreds of thousands of factories HAVE been closed, and many of these are owned by multinational, Fortune 500...

asiaprop, regarding plant closings in China: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/11/100000-chinese-factories-closing.php http://www.post1.net/lowem/entry/67000_china_factories_closed_in_h1_2008_as_global_economic_collapse_takes_hold http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU8DXZI9_8Y...

If you don't think this public statement by THE man in charge of this area of China's expansion is a bombshell.... Draw your own conclusions. These statements are made with a very specific purpose, and I believe it's to dramatically reduce expectations about Chinese growth based on a...

Thanks, Dennis, you dumbass!!!!!!!!!! At least Beaker is smarter than to tell his audience to go bargain hunting for stocks in 2007 just before the biggest equity crash since 1929!!!!!! lol!!! Hey Dennis, here's some Vag medicine to help with your discomfort!

The only thing that was missing in that photo was the peanuts. And....well you geriatric cowboy...saddle up.....you can eat the peanuts out of my sheeeyat.

Roger that, chief. Rennick brings out the worst in me. G_d, I love that old bastard more each day.

I believe less than 9 million new cars will be sold this year. A lot more cars were sold in the first half than if there were not fire sales. Those sales will rob from the 2nd half. There will be disappointment all around as this reality sinks in. People are literally swearing off...

Depends how much patrons (i.e. other countries) value those chips.

The new normal in the U.S. will be dramatically worse. Unit sales in 2006 approached 17 million. They'll be lucky if they eke out 10 million this year. It'll probably be half closer to 9 million.
