If the Chins can suddenly say ghat Ar.Pr. is " Southern Tibet", we should've immediately said that Tibet was " Upper Ar.Pradesh" whatever or designated Tibet as COK. Chinese Occupied Tibet. But which Indian govt. has the guts to do so? The Chins only respect steel and leaders of...

Re: PRC Economy - New Reflections : April 20 2015

Suraj saar is correct as usual. To add, HK$ is a play on CNY. In 2016, the PBoC brought onshore Yuan - CNH and offshore Yuan - CNY, together. They were trading at different prices thus permitting arbitrage. So now post IMF SDR basket inclusion, the HK monetary authority has to work doubly hard to ke...

As for Greek debt, its definitely being expunged. The modus operandi has been to have the IMF and EU as a whole "lend" money to Greece to repay (mostly) German & French banks. Thereafter, Greece defaults on those IMF/EU loans down the line - and the EU's taxpayer and IMF member nation...
