Bank of China Chief Economist thinks RMB will devalue?

Another thing to add to the previous post. Yi Gang thinks that the circumstances are in place for the Bank of China to allow a "gradual devaluation" of the Renminbi (Source: Australian Financing Review). I thought Zhu said that they wouldn't devalue - surely he would be straight with us?

tom,

it is good to have you back, because, no, I didn't see the eery remarks from the Chinese Chief Economist.

Meanwhile, last night there were more news on German TV about Indonesian uprising, protesting price hikes. There were pictures of "Polisi" equipped with enduro motorcycles, you know like the gangsters in "Black Rain". I like N.Y. Police on horses in Central Park much better <g>.

In a Times article of two days ago it was reported Tom that 200 out out Indonesias 212 banks were asset impaired. This I think means they are bankrupt. This means that 94.33962% of the banks in the country are brain dead. Could there be anything positive in this?

My best,
