Yiwu,

$100 Billion in dubious accounts receivables is a stunning figure.

To put that into perspective, the adjusted value of imports from China to the U.S. for 2003 was $143 Billion. Assuming $40 Billion of the bad debt was accrued in 2003, then 28% of this business is being done without payment. Holy Cow!

Do you happen to have any URLs to cite backing up this $100 Billion bad debt figure? I don't seem to be able to Google up this information. Thanks for any reply. :)
