A few things come to mind.. 1) the US trade deficit has improved (largely) because consumers are cutting back.. so China is dealing with reduced exports to the US already. 2) The Fed is buying Treasuries called quantitative easing but maybe it's to head off quantity selling :O) 3) for every year in the last 10 that China exported more to the US ... the US has exported more to China.. but in 2008 the US exports to China grew much more slowly.. uschina.org I dunno but I think China is in a better position.. I believe tat the US is more boxed in.. Their stimulus whoever else it helps is designed exactly to allay social disorder.. Their politicians don't get to retire and do the lecture circuit with a nice pension when they make a mess :O) TBS
