Bad debts in China?
Quote:
China has uncovered 531bn yuan ($84bn; £54bn) of irregularities in local government debts.
The National Audit Office said breaches included "irregular credit guarantees", "irregular collateral" and "fraudulent and underpayment of registered capital".

I hope they'll still be able to bail the rest of us out...

That's some variance (6 * 2012 Olympics)
or about £50 for every man, woman or child in China

Re: Bad debts in China?
If America goes bust then china will be in real trouble, China is one of Americas biggest creditors, but not as much trouble as japan, they will go best as they have 200% or GDP debt and are also of Americas biggest creditors!

Well, reports are that China is trying to shift the amount of US debt it holds as well as not buy so much in the first instance to reduce the risk if/when the US defaults

Japan's debt is quite unique as the overwhelming majority of it is held domestically rather than internationally. It's why they've been able to sustain such a massive debt.

Re: Bad debts in China?
One thing I don't get is that if everyone is owing everyone money, who actually has the money that has been loaned in the first place. Or is the reality that this money never existed and the economics that have fuelled the industrialised world economy always been on a false pretence that has now been exposed as one big lie? And assuming that is the case, are we very close to a real meltdown as nobody can pay their bills.

Re: Bad debts in China?
Can't the whole world just call it quits with each other and start afresh? 
we could set up charities galore all over the world, and have governments down as recognised charities. fund raising events. text donations and everything.
