Chinese debt is growing exponentially . Local government debt in China alone is more than 75% of GDP. This nonsense that China is somehow above this bubble is complete nonsense. When we turn toward global austerity in 2012 . to put it in perspective California debt in 2013 (estimated) is $500 billion against a state GDP of $2 Trillion giving it a debt to GDP of 25%.
IMO most of the goldbugs here are ridiculously optimistic , the entire world will collapse economically within 3 years
