>> As much as 50% of Chinese bank loans are nonperforming, Mr. Greenspan said in a letter to Senate Banking Committee Chairman Richard Shelby (R., Ala.). The banking system can operate that way only if depositors don't pull out their money, he said. <<

Worded another way...

As long as everyone has faith and keeps their money in China banks that are insolvent...we're ok.
