Who is behind this? This state of affairs must benefit someone. so who are those people? <br /><br />Ratings should be democratized (see our recent article: http://www.ontonix.com/index.php?page=31&vedidoc=y&IDDOC=496 ). We need a totally different approach to ratings and the three agencies must simply go! Game over! But before they go, they should give the money back!J.

Look at the fraud and ponzi schemes and compare that with the amount that gets stolen by poor people and there is no comparison.

The problem is that China has leveraged itself to become a player in a game where it will be a big loser if America bites the dust.<BR/>In reality they have limited options and America calls the shots. I suspect that Premier Wen was talking for domestic consumption as the sweat of a generation of Chinese workers has been converted into a very suspect asset under the guidance of the CCP. Just the law of unexpected consequences at work. Where they have leverage is in influencing American policy on other issues such as Tibet and human rights. I agree that the situation is very interesting, but it is also very dangerous for everyone as moderation is called for. If China continues its export boosting policies in this environment, it could bring down the house of cards as there will be retaliation. Everyone knows China's game and Obama is going to play the staked goat for them. <BR/>KapoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543973746263847817.post-43261076255664972632009-03-11T07:20:00.000-05:002009-03-11T07:20:00.000-05:00Idealistic, but I learned a lot.

The greatness of China is that the society is able to shuck off what does not serve it and move on. It has a kind of meta-order beneath the outward appearance of stability which allows entire social orders to change but the society to move on. The current system needs to make some major adaptations or get very irrelevant very quickly. <BR/>It might appear minor from a demographic standpoint, but I believe that incorporating the Tibetans and Uigurs into the society are critical problems hampering liberalisation. America did it in their South-West and China is using the same polices. It will be 'messy' but will probably work.<BR/>KapoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543973746263847817.post-1350244107210037072009-02-25T07:50:00.000-05:002009-02-25T07:50:00.000-05:00It was one of the most profound and meaningful spe...It was one of the most profound and meaningful speeches I have ever heard.

It is also true that having visited China - companies, multinationals operating there in Shanghai - and also having exposure to more of the government side in Beijing, I am quite confident that the way the West sees the world is not the way China does or has. China's lens is very different. It is an ancient culture built on a strong value system. It is not just it's political preferences. It's much more than that. So, if it were any other country, I would wonder about ability to make it through this period. Tomorrow, we can go through that list. The map of the world may fundamentally change as we know it. But China isn't going to be the one being swallowed up. But that's my two cents :)Deika Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09645646973885692146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543973746263847817.post-61731285972698710212009-02-22T22:50:00.000-05:002009-02-22T22:50:00.000-05:00Your post pretty clearly expresses a concern of mi...Your post pretty clearly expresses a concern of mine. The world has turned a corner and the successful will be those best able to negotiate the bend. I know you are bored hearing me mouth off about China, but I had not clearly said what is my bother. I have a theory, based on evolutionary realities, which states that those best adapted to particular circumstances are usually the worst adapted to any change in the circumstances. China has been the King Kong of the last decade or two, having become the world's export machine. America has become the world's import machine. That tandem is broken and America's trade deficit is collapsing as they start to live within their means. I believe the fulcrum for modernising China is broken. Where we really differ is that you believe the fix is on the way. I believe the bureaucrats are not ready to change because the are correctly afraid of the people and distrust them. The rural assistance programme is a big step forward, but it comes after decades of mistreating the farmers. The bureaucratic mindset is shown by the fact that the emphasis is on building infrastructure. I could be wrong and the bureaucrats could save China, but they have not done so in the past. The country really blossomed when they stepped out of the way and allowed the people to thrive, albeit in a controlled environment. My best guess is that a decade from this, the Chinese will still be trying to figure out what went wrong. I know that it is critical to Jamaica's future that I am proved wrong, but I am pretty sure that the economic circumstance which allowed them to thrive for two decades have been nearly fully exploited. Their economic, political and social flexibility are now about to be tested.<BR/>There, I have said my piece. I will try to listen more in future.<BR/>KapoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543973746263847817.post-83783450306435352332009-02-22T09:58:00.000-05:002009-02-22T09:58:00.000-05:00If I'm not mistaken, they can prove both predatory...If I'm not mistaken, they can prove both predatory lending and "irresponsible borrower behavior". Which means, yes some banks picked on people. And yes, some people bought houses they could not afford, and knew what was happening and engaged in borrowing anyway - many of those people had no intention of living in the houses and so walked away. <BR/><BR/>It is also very true that LOTS of people are innocent bystanders in this mess, and are seeing their property values plunge, or are trying to make their mortgages which literally ballooned beyond expectations because of the degree of interest rate hike, and also became unaffordable with wage cuts, pay freezes, unemployment, and lack of access to credit.Deika Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09645646973885692146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543973746263847817.post-25142872854027679642009-02-22T09:51:00.000-05:002009-02-22T09:51:00.000-05:00@kapo: True to form, I can always expect you to c...@kapo: True to form, I can always expect you to challenge the view.
