Is the Chinese Bubble going to Burst? (Jim Chanos)

[Babys1306]

Jim Chanos is the shit.

Whoever knows about China's inside economic games knows what he's talking about.

They want you to believe certain things, and most of you, potential investors, do. That's how money is made.

Jim Chanos is VERY smart. He was the hedge fund manager who questioned the accounting practices of Enron and shorted them far ahead of anyone else. Mr. Chanos then expressed his concerns re: Enron to Bethany Maclean of Fortune Magazine (author of The Smartest Guys in the Room - which was also made into a motion picture). I don't doubt Mr. Chanos - but timing is everything is the short side of the market.

Will this really affect the west much? I mean the factories and the cheap labor will still be there, but the living standards of the Chinese will be screwed.

60% of the GDP comes from real estate and construction, while 5% from export is a ruthless, but unmistakably clear massage. Horribly deformed economy China is.

it seems that only USA has all this time to sit around and discuss about whether another c'try, China is going to burst or not. I don't see the Chinese doing that, nor bother with doing that about whether USA is going to sink or not. Time would be better spend on dicussing what measures (austerity or otherwise) can be implemented to revive the USA economy instead of bitching about another c'try. Empty vessels make the most noise apply to all these people in the talk show.
