One tends to think that if china keeps on expanding in the south china seas, she may well find herself backtracking faster than she can import.

You called it as usual.

And it'll be bad news for Argentina when China stops buying their soy completely. I believe China has enough stored up now to last years.

Rut ro!

Finally getting to laugh at all those that did straight line extrapolations for China's future growth.

Supposedly China discovered a whole new economic paradigm and this time was different!

And this is happening before the full impact of China's demographic disaster has even really started being felt.

I laughed that it was from Sputnik first.

And then laughed at the article itself. It didn't really say anything. The BRICS bank will solve all the problems of the BRICS.... except corruption.... and growth.... and the lack of democracy in China and Russia.......

Indeed, long live COMECON.... I mean BRICS....

All of those countries that signed up for the China led IMF bank just found out yesterday that China has the final veto on everything.
When will the world learn the Chinese are cooks to the nth degree just like the Russians.
They're evil godless corrupted bureaucrats with the power of the state to drive out any disagreement.
They will fail and drag all the hangers-on with them.
Choose your side wisely.
