and now, given the so predictable development, my sense is that france will have a very hard lesson coming

its war effort must be sincere, and yet, should it be sincere, as it was in algeria in the earlier round as was in vietnam a bit later, it may well crater france

france is on the front line, and beyond france, much softer mush of europe, until germany, the inflexible, and so the one always to break

so shall go the next 75 years, and then end-game

China at risk of bad loans, warns IMF
The International Monetary Fund has warned China to be vigilant over bad loans as its economy begins to slow.

...

has "highlighted the need for regulatory and supervisory vigilance to manage any deterioration in credit quality, and for increased transparency in lending to local government vehicles," said the notes to the Article IV consultation, which has not been released in full.

According to senior Chinese officials, Chinese banks are facing serious default risks on more than a fifth of the 7,700bn yuan they have lent to local governments across the country. Around 1,550bn yuan of loans are judged questionable by the China Banking Regulatory Commission, although not all of the loans are expected to go bad.
