UH-OH: FITCH RATINGS ANNOUNCES POTENTIAL IMPENDING DOWNGRADE OF JAPAN AND CHINA

THE STAR (Malaysia):

Fitch Ratings warned yesterday that it might downgrade China's credit rating within two years as the country's banks struggle with debt loads following a lending surge to help lift the economy during the 2008 financial crisis.

It also said that Japan, weighed down by a public debt load twice the size of the US$5 trillion economy, faced a greater-than-even chance of a downgrade in part due to a political impasse that is stalling plans to clean up its finances.

Asia's two biggest economies are in the ratings firing line alongside Europe and the United States as they deal with massive debts built up during the global financial crisis.

This is inevitable; it's just a matter of when - and whether it will be preceded by or follow the bursting of the Chinese real estate bubble and the Chinese POTEMKIN economy.

NOTE:

In every single gloabl case, the unsustainable sovereign debt burden is the result of socialist spending.

Runaway socialism - and not unbridled free-markets and deregulation - is the cause of the current global economic crisis.

• TO SOLVE THE GLOBAL DEBT CRISIS WE NEED TO UNWIND THE SOCIALIST PRGORAMS AND RESTORE THE SUPREMACY OF LIBERTY, THE FREE-MARKETS AND THE NATION-STATE.

• AND WE NEED TO DEFEAT JIHADISM - WHICH UNDELRIES THE ENORMOUS ENERGY INFLATION THE GLOBAL ECONOMY HAS SUFFERED UNDER SINCE 9/11/01.

NOTE:


EVERY RECESSION SINCE WW2 HAS BEEN CAUSED BY A SPIKE IN ENERGY PRICES AND EVERY ONE OF THESE SPIKES WAS CAUSED MY ISLAMO-THUGGERY AND JIHADO-ADVENTURISM.
