Thanks John : Excellent articles. I have nothing to say except I'm glad that I'm not involved and that I don't have to make the decisions. I confess that I have been too critical about Albright and Co. There was really damn all that they could do. And, it's clear they did their best. I also accept that my Albanian base idea was too far fetched.

The country's central bank, People's Bank of China (PBOC), plans to shut down all banks and cash machines in China if the central government approves its request to turn December 31 into a public holiday, a PBOC spokesman said. Chen Jing, director general of the PBOC's department of payment, science and technology, denied the closures were planned to avoid a bank run.(cont) invest.insidechina.com
