What country is not in debt to China? What country does not have investments in China?
The IMF raised $430 billion in new funds for crisis intervention Friday, with China and other emerging economic giants
taking part despite worries the money will go to more eurozone bailouts.

Most commodity prices fell Monday because of troubling news about Europe's debt and the pace of manufacturing in China.
What If the China Bubble Bursts?
"If, however, the party's efforts result in a precipitous drop in real estate values, multinational corporations whose revenue
and earnings growth are tied to China could be hard hit. And the U.S. could be thrown back into recession."
Is China is losing money to newer, faster and cheaper manufacturing, in other countries?
Have we been here, before?
"By the 1980s, Japan had built up such huge trade surpluses and the yen had become so strong that Japanese businessmen
were buying up properties all over the world and Japanese tourists were fanning out to every corner of the globe. Many
people thought Japan was poised to dominate the world.
The bubble topped out on December, 29, 1989 when the Nikkei index reached a historic high of 38,915.87, and it appeared
Japan was on the verge of surpassing the United States as the world’s most powerful economy.
The collapse was brought about by an international recession, foreign competition in export markets, the inability
of the government to protect weak banks and business from globalization, the realization that stock prices and real estate
values had become inflated in the bubble period, and the that Bank of Japan setting interest rates too low, creating easy
money. The bubble itself was blamed on a belief that the good times of the bubble economy years would last forever
and poor decision making over what to do with all the cash that poured in.
