China spent US$69billion to defend their cash outflow WITHIN A MONTH due to declining yuan against USD (Yuan did not really necessary against other exporting nations, eg. BRICS, Korea or Japan). NipponDK pointed out in our groupchat that probably the yuan decline can sustain some economic growth above 6% in China for 2017. The country created debt to sustain high GDP but the money made is transferred overseas, leaving china with an empty shell.
According to the article, China has about US$3 trillion of reserves and in the first 10 months of 2016, capital outflows from China rose to US$530bn. Assuming their monthly decline is about 1.5-3.0%, China will go bust when the reserves hit US$2 trillion which will likely be about 18 months later from now.
