And this time, he is right about the yuan. It should be stronger and it would be stronger if it weren't for the strenuous efforts of the Chinese authorities to keep it weak. No one has any sympathy for banks that lent money to people thatcouldn't afford to pay it back; no one should have sympathy for China if the value of its Treasury holdings decline. Or indeed default. The only reason it has the holdings in the first place is because they have prevented the yuan from appreciating as it certainly would have, if allowed to float. How can you have a free markets, without a free floating currency? China is an accident waiting to happen and the shock waves will be global. If, as I suspect, the world becomes a much more 'local' place in the years to come, my money is on the States. Bill

Should be interesting to see what will be the outcome, but then, I didn't want to be sarcastic today.

It's "freedom of the printing press!" Woopee! Oh, and Harry, geez man, you really have to open your eyes. The US is EXPORTING inflation: this is how things work- duh! Guess what happens when a country is over-inflating like crazy? POP! Guess what happens when the Chinese no longer are able to prop up the US's debt load? CRASH! Yeah, ha ha ha...

Harry... the relationship is completley insane - china absuses and forces its workers to produce while the U.S. corprocracy ships jobs to them.. eventually and recently jobs have been lost due to this so the purchasing of these products have fallen due to outsourcing - its unhealthy. It has finally reached its peak nad maybe these idiots in the Fed/Treasury/ and white house will wake up... Our economy doesnt need to consume to be healthy - a balanced trade deficit and a resonable spending government (HAHA) would be best case scenaio. This unhealthy economy has gone on too long and unfortunatly its coming to an end now -when the U.S. liabilities towards social security, healthcare, ect are at maximums... It's a disaster in the making. So continue to pray and wish that 1 million tones of gold falls from the sky onto the U.S. because otherwise we have to cut back on our standard of living or just hope our debt is cleared by the top 1% of the economy (Goldman Sucks, and JP Whoregan) Where am I?

China is growing by leaps and bounds and we've raced back from the recession to growth with this relationship intact. You try to find dark clouds everywhere even when the skies are mostly sunny. It's depressing and funny all at the same time. Works both ways and it’s apparently a relationship that’s working well for both parties involved.

Stil, it grieves me that you are so sold on unregulated capitalism. Both unregulated capitalism and socialism lead to the same destination -- social disaster. Both demand citizen participants whose character, morals, and ethics are impossibly high. Both extremes eat investors alive whenever they have the opportunity. Thus, society must protect itself with whatever regulations are necessary without crushing the entrepreneural spirit. Moderation in all things seems fitting in these cases. it's not a perfect system, but it will have to do until something better comes along.
