ParticipantYou think Chinese investors are the only ones. That IS how investors operate, because that IS how humans operate.
No, they are not the only ones.. but they have the ‘disease’ worse than cultures where dissent is allowed or even possibly appreciated.

I am tool lazy to look it up, but the Chinese government controls the exchange rate. It definitely is not a free market situation like the dollar or the german mark.
Michael Pettis’s from the blog I sited lists the ways that the government encourages excess saving and thereby subsidies manufacturers. It is the equivalent of easy credit we had for the housing market.
Certainly Chinese culture values land ownership, but the bad loans are not just in real estate but with all the excess investment in production

Ok, so if China is investing in US stocks and treasuries why would the secretary of state be upset with them?
Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don’t-
I’ve come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,
cut a little swathe and lead the people on. Best Little Whorehouse in Texas< http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/top/dst/2009/09/deficit.htmlIf you are referring to this:
http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/top/dst/2009/09/balance.html
read the fine print at the top.. "The values given are for Imports and Exports added together."[/quote]Thanks for the real numbers, seems charts can be very deceptive. I didn't really think I was buying more Canadian stuff than Chinese stuff, but sometimes I can get a little local and forget about all those other states on the Canadian border.
