You must be reading the wrong news sources. LOL 2 years ago, The China government passed a directive that ALLOWED Chinese state-owned companies to WALK AWAY from loss-making commodity derivative trades from Global investment institutions like Gold,an, JP Morgan , Deutche Bank UBS etc. None of the big Banks have dared to sue the Chinese Companies for breach of contract (yet) , despite the fact that many of the contracts were made in London , Singapore , and New York. WHat can they do when the China government has issued an unlimited 'get out of jail card ' ?? The Western Banks will collapse when the USD drops another 25% . China has already walked away from the shit a long time ago. And no, I'm not kidding. http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/...47327420090831
