That’s what happens in a communist country. Your money is not yours. It happened here once under FDR during the Great Depression. FDR was known as a socialist, and declared a bank holiday during a run on banks here in the early 30s at the onset. IMHO, he was not a great leader. He cause the depression last longer than it should with his high tax policies.

This is like a scene right out of "Currency War", which is fiction.

"Or is it....?"

All that does is demonstrate to the world that China has a nearly fatal financial problem and anyone with any investments there had better run for the exit.

Yep, but the appeasement of the shareholders MUST come first, and that is all that matters to corporate America these days.

“Look, we got quotes from all over and China was 14.6% lower than anyone else, but choosing them means we will have to invest heavily there to get the ball running up front.”

“Will we save $140 million over 7 years if we do at current rates?”

“Well, at current rates yes, but there are a lot of unkn...”

“Thank you, that will be all Frank, nice work and we’ll take it from here.”

We had 3 bank robberies in Ct within a few hours the other day. The robbers hit 3 Peopled bank offices located inside Stop And Shop stores. They hit the first one then drove 25 minutes to rob the second one and drove another 25 minutes to hit the third bank.

——nearly fatal financial problem-—

There is a fatal financial problem killing the Chinese economy

Actually that nearly description might be premature. As banks fail all across China and people cease paying their mortgages on un finished or even not started apartments, banks are caught in the middle with no defense. The Developers took the money in loans and are now bankrupt. The Developers can’ repay the loans. The problem is actually destroying the Chinese economy, no nearly to it.

The amounts are incalculable. To say infinite is not an exaggeration. The bank runs illustrate the general lack of paper currency. The banks can’t return deposits in currency they do not have.

And people in America are worried about people from China buying real estate here. American real estate is seen as the most solid, reliable investment for the safety of savings that would be already evaporated in China

Old tanks without reactive armor and no .50 mounted. Not serious, just an evening military parade.

[tanks sent] after banks put a freeze on withdrawals.

Sounds like something Biden would do, after declaring this week's "emergency" of course.

*FDR was not a great leader. He cause the depression last longer than it should with his high tax policies.*

That might be what it takes. A big crash with GOP majorities. A window to slash government.

As for the Chicoms and it’s tanks there’s always Taiwan for a distraction. Problem is Taiwan will be more ready than The Brits regarding the Falklands.

They're as effective against unarmed Chinese citizens as a M1A2 is against a US citizen with an AR-15...

Why tanks and not armed gunship type armored vehicles with machine gun turrets.

That’s all they need to suppress internal dissent.

The only people that built those and have them in service are the Russians. Also, not any more effective against the unarmed populace of China than a regular older tank anyway.
