Oh, if only someone had able to see this coming and been able to predict this exact fucking outcome 10 fucking years ago. Oh, wait... The entire Chinese banking system was looted to the bare walls by the oligarchs there years ago. It's a big box full of IOU's. There is no "there" there. You think our banks are fucked up? You ain't seen nothing yet. The entire Chinese economy is like the bus in "Speed". If it slows down, it explodes. These are the people that invented paper money in the 1300's. And then, to exactly no one's surprise, the same corrupt fuckers invented inflation right after that. And collapsed the economy. Again. And when I say, "collapsed", I mean to the point of families arranging to trade their kids to each other because nobody wants to have to kill and eat their own kid. Eating a stranger is easier. When the chinese bubble finally pops, and it will, it's going to make our troubles here look like a fucking square dance.
