It already depreciated from 6.3 to 7.3+ but no inflation means China has policy flexibility. Malaysia also want China inflation level but out of reach.
HONG KONG: The grace period for Country Garden Holding's $15 million coupon payment has expired, fuelling expectations that China's biggest private property developer had defaulted on its offshore debt.
One bondholder of the tranche, who declined to be identified discussing confidential information, said he had not received payment on the coupon as the grace period ended.
Country Garden did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A missed payment on a September 2025 bond without a deal with creditors would mean that Country Garden has joined scores of other Chinese developers who have defaulted, deepening the crisis roiling the property sector, which makes up about a quarter of the world's second largest economy.
Almost 100% of the developers, contractors, suppliers are going bankrucy, the bad debts have affected the banking system. How much money need to print to fill up the black hole ? Money not dropping from the sky. What, where, when to pay back is a question.
Israel targets handphones of operatives. some people been putting their handphone inside ambulance, schools, kindergardens, any place got children one. latest handphone put inside hospital resulted in more than 500 deaths.
Stock Markets globally, their balls just shrunk from contagion fear today.
Palestinian officials blamed an Israeli air strike for the huge blast and fireball which engulfed the Al-Ahli al-Arabi hospital, and said it killed as many as 500 people.
Israel said the blast was caused by a failed rocket launch by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group, which denied blame.
Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden said: "I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion of the hospital in Gaza yesterday, and based on what I've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you."
"But there's a lot of people out there not sure, so we’ve got a lot, we’ve got to overcome a lot of things," Biden added.
The Jews decided they need to be hegemons in order to survive and the Jews are backed by the world biggest hegemons....that is whole story . But the Arabs are not willing to abandon Palestine
Action speaks louder than words. Reality is derived by analysing actions not choice of words used in the media. Reality is found in actions not in the media control by the hegemons
KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 20): Hidden bad debts are worrying for Chinese banks, as the sector’s finance is already in a mess, according to The Economist.
In a report last Sunday, the magazine said local governments are struggling to repay lenders at least 65 trillion yuan (RM42.8 trillion) in off-balance-sheet debts.
It said many of the country’s big property developers have already defaulted on offshore bonds and owe trillions of yuan-worth of unbuilt homes to local residents.
The Economist said China’s largest wealth-management firms have started to default on payments owed to investors.
It said problems with loans to the smallest firms began with Covid-19.
It said as China shut down, the central bank put a moratorium on the repayment of loans for small- and micro-enterprises until June 2020 in order to halt a wave of defaults.
The magazine said after less than three months, officials estimated that 700 billion yuan in payments had been deferred.
The moratorium has been extended several times since then, with officials citing the continued impact of Covid.
No estimate for the total amount of unpaid loans exists and banks will not be required to disclose them publicly until next year, said the magazine.
In order to stimulate the economy, the central government has leant on banks to extend loans to the smallest firms, and to do so at the lowest possible interest rates. Although such policies have been attempted for years, banks have been resistant, preferring to lend to the large, often state-owned companies with which they have relationships already.
This time the policy has worked, however, it said.
The Economist said a crackdown on the banking industry, culminating in the arrest of the president of one of China’s largest commercial banks last year, has made bosses more willing to follow official edicts.
As a result, at the beginning of the year, about 28% of all loans in China had been given to small- and micro-enterprises, up from 24% at the end of 2019.
Many of these loans represent simply the renewal of older, unpaid debts.
It is well known that small firms struggled during the pandemic, said the magazine.
The Economist said another result has been what some view as a catastrophic mispricing of assets.
It said small firms are usually judged to pose the greatest risks, but loans to small- and micro-enterprises have nevertheless been provided at rock-bottom interest rates.
It said banks have offered them at an average of 4% annual interest, down from 6% or so in 2019.
To make matters worse, a recent surge in long-term deposits, which are remunerated at higher rates, means banks’ margins have been squeezed even tighter, it said.
Don't want to hear different voice just read CCP website. i.diot.

Before real estate crisis Evergrande and Country Garden claimed to be top world developers which hidden all the debts. CCP banks will follow the formula.
China had a huge restructuring of its state banks pumping in hundreds of billions in the 1990s.................nothing bad happened to China. In fact China did very well after the bank restructuring.
China has 3 advantages others don't have. Every year China has huge trade surpluses, high savings rates and and banks which are state controlled. There w I'll always have solutions.
China's bri help to finance the global south when the rich countries do not want to take the risk, don't have the money and don't have the institution to do it. People should show China more love and appreciation for doing it. Not just call it debt diplomacy
Just like China and EV. China has the right idea and implementation to address environmental problems. Companies like Toyota and Honda missed the boat and now playing sour grapes
In issue after issue China choose the right path for China for humanity for the planet, . It's better to listen to China than playing sour grapes and spread misinformation about China
