their banks are a sham. waiting for the day the bubble burst. at one point in time they were approving loans without collateral! That will bite them in the arse down the road
what's wrong with leaving the titanic? at this rate we will have the oversaturation of graduates like taiwan, the density of hongkong, the insane medical and therefore insurance cost of america, probably property bubble bursting, the list is endless. Did i mention most people are stupid are oblivious to almost everything?
Something is definitely happening in China now. I met one of these people from the finance industry here that took immediate flight to Australia in the last couple of months. There is also an example I hear from my supplier. Mind you, these are not average employees but are close to director level.
China companies love to clock revenues (not profits) so that they can get larger trade/loan facilities from banks and then disappear.
This kind of people get rich faster than us.

Even tier-2 banks (not big 4) resort to shadow banking to meet their cashflow obligations.
Not that the Chinese don't trust their own yuan but to them, a dollar within china is worth less than 90cents overseas. That's why bitcoins emerged as the fastest growing method to transfer money out.
Beware of an up-coming IPO
A retail F&B group is half-dead due soaring rental and labor costs. The two bosses are now working with financial boutique firms to shore up the company accounts for an IPO in the near future to bailout the company.
Recently, the bosses injected personal funds to take over a proftiable bakery chain to "average up" the lacklustre group earnings. The bosses went on to recruit back a woman who was from the group's disposed business to do the dirty jobs under business development so that aduitors can adjust for "under-declared" earnings in earlier FYs for IPO.
Watch the show when it is launched.

The Truth about SIBOR-pegged Australian Property Loans......and Malaysia too
Gentlemen, i believe some of us have or intend to acquire investment properties in Australia. Lately, many Sg branches of renowned Aussie banks are offering loans for Australian properties pegged to SIBOR. The immediate savings, is at least 2.5%pa cheaper than an outright AUD loan from downunder.
Ok, here's the catch. Something weird happened in 2H13. Australian property price did not drop but some singaporeans faced margin calls for properties purchased under such SIBOR financing. Some of these loans were initially priced at higher AUDSGD rates and when AUD dived 12-15%, the owners were asked to cough out the FX differences. Technically, the whole property loan is based on SGD but the asset is priced in AUD.
This is made worse due to max loan gearing because the property and rental tax structure is very high in Australia; investors naturally favors max loan exposure when buying and use the interest expense to offset these taxes.
Banks value these overseas SIBOR loan properties based on the lower of current valuation or purchased price in local currency, resulting in the unexpected FX margin call. I believe the same phenomenon can also happen to those who invest in Malaysia properties with SIBOR-pegged loans for Malaysia properties, if Ringgit slips >15% against SGD.
THE TRUTH ABOUT BITCOINS
Fiatleak.org is a splendid website that consolidates global Bitcoin transactions from leading Bitcoin exchanges. Whenever I leave the webpage running, Chinese Yuan (CNY) will always be the top-volume traded fiat currency (in exchange for Bitcoins), accounting for >70-80% of the turnover.
However, the Chinese online marketplace is just fraction of the global e-commerce value; so apparently the Chinese are not really madly using Bitcoin for shopping. fiatleak.org could be exposing some sort of monetary transfer by individuals in China; Bitcoins' stellar rise in value in 2013 is likely due to the exploitation of this virtual currency as a mean to transfer Chinese Yuan for another foreign currency in an offshore account.
