These Ang Mos are good. Goldman started selling ICBC in Jan 03 when the price was about $5.8, almost at the peak.. when Temasek got the remaining ICBC share from Goldman, it was sold at $ 5.5 per piece.. now the price is 4.79.. if it cannot recover from this price, it will want to go lower.. judging from the recent incident, this would be the case.

As expected, PBOC injected US$42bil into the banking system and the benchmark seven-day repurchase rate, a gauge of interbank funding availability, slumped 134 basis points to 5.25 percent as of 9:22 a.m. in Shanghai. Everything back to normal and SSE jumped more than 1% just now.. another cycle begins until the next credit crunch..meanwhile, those sufferers in shadow banks and the smaller banks can only see their money going into the drain.. but they have no choice, they will have to borrow at higher rate again when the tides go down.. but how many times can they do that? What would the smarter ones do next? Playing "who would blink first" game? PBOC only needs a few billions to quench the "thirst".

Though foreign reserves of a country cannot be used to judge whether a country is in financial trouble as a country may cumulate debts that is more than the foreign reserves but it does show that the country at least having enough "fat" to tie over difficult financial periods. Just like we do, if we have credit crunch and short of money in our pocket, we are not too worry if we have money in the banks or assets that we can sell. China presently has 25 times more foreign reserves than the US and is growing compare to US which is shrinking. Those speculating that China will soon have a credit crisis may have to think twice before they short China. Similarly, those who think that Singapore will be going through the Icelanic style of crisis may have to be careful when they decided to short Singapore. Singapore has 6 times more foreign reserves and is growing whereas Iceland's reserve kept shrinking after Jan 12. At the time during the 2008 Iceland financial crisis, Iceland only has slightly less foreign reserves as present.

The writer of this article is a bit naïve when he pointed out that China is not smart in accumulating US Treasury to that extend. It pointed out the following:-
a) The Treasury bills are just a piece of paper that will be worthless if there is a confrontation; b) China afraid of US Dollar's integrity and therefore buying those bonds; c) China capital system is primitive and it is centrally controlled and money is just sitting idling; d) China dumping US Treasury? No worry, it will be taken up by others; e) China would be paid US Dollars if they dump.
These AngMos just do not know China and the Chinese people. They are shrewd businessmen. Understand a lot Chinese are not interested in US bonds any more, they are buying up properties; even such that there is a "hope" in Detroit for the "Chinese will save Detroit".

No hard landing for Chinese economy, says IMF chief - ST 4 Apr 2014
Lagarde downplays fears weakening economy could derail growth in region.
CHINA will see reduced growth, but there will be no hard landing for the world's second-largest economy, International Monetary Fund (IMF) managing director Christine Lagarde has said.
And while a Chinese economy losing steam and tempers rising over territorial disputes may have rattled some nerves in the region, Ms Lagarde still holds Asia as a bright spot in a global economy that is slowly turning the corner.
