For all their strengths, Australia's major banks also have a glaring structural weakness. They don't have enough deposits, so they rely on wholesale borrowings, much of it from overseas, to fund about half their lending. This is fine in normal times, but as the financial crisis accelerated through September 2008, it soon became apparent that wholesale borrowing markets were shutting down. Australian banks faced the threat of not being able to fund their day-to-day activities. smh.com.au

China is Dubai times 1000... Chanos I ask whom do you trust? West Whom also thinks this all ends in a war with China! It will not end pretty; China wants it all and the round eyed dummies are handing it to them! It all busts first; even for China. Hunker down. On the other side; life is going to be very different. Right now; these are the best of times; enjoy. China rises after much death and mayhem and will be the world power by 2018....Europe and America will fall into the dustbin of history.
