China Limits Lending By Some Banks

[Parsad]

Due to low capital ratios, China is slowing down lending at some major Chinese financial institutions.  Cheers!

Anybody visited this city?

 

Last time I went in Northern China I was amazed by the low amount of vehicles but it did not mean the city was empty. It just meat that there is no cars.

 

China has huge infrastructure, like that bridge that's about 30km long that links Shangai to Ningbo, you go on that thing and your the only car around. In my opinion they are planning ahead but so far, they are not getting any return on their investment.

 

One thing that worries me tough is... everything China does seems to work perfectly all the time. In my experience no country can do everything right all the time. Especially in a country with such limited experience in ecenomics.

I recall WEB stating a while back with respect to the US debt that China holds that they'd be better off just giving the money to people of China to build infrastructure and their economy than buying more US debt.  Looks like they were already doing a bit of that!
