  1. China was expanding the money supply at 18% per annum BEFORE the credit crunch. Kept the yuan down w.r.t. the dollar of course. Now they are having to feed yet more debt into the system.

    Not quite the tiger economy some have suggested. They are heading for a fall - a really big one. Probably in 2010 I would say.

  3. If China blow it big time (as Japan did in the 1990s), then they will bring Australia down with them.
