What got me to thinking about it was the implication for gold and commodities. If the Chinese want rates and the clownbuck up, that would knock gold and most commodities down (and the U.S. into a recession). And U.S. real estate straight into the toilet, of course. I've lightened up some on my paper gold holdings over the last week, maybe I'll dump the rest (or hedge out).

Crisis=Danger x opportunity (or something to that effect....)

I agree with you, the Chinese seem to actually think and plan for the long term. What a shocking idea! Their results have mixed success, as they are only human, but still..

What happens when they have 400 million of their own to consume?

They have the huge advantage over us of not having their political leadership go through massive changes in direction and ideological dislocations every four or eight years.
