#2 Does the above grim description of China's economic, and thus social, crisis argue for XI to act on Taiwan. Classic external distraction, Wag the Dog, Patriotic War, main enemy led by Biden is feckless and weak, US is in huge social deterioration, US/NATO hugely compromised logistically by Ukraine miasma, never going to be a better time?

#5 An interesting (to me, at least) question will be the extent to which creditors of Evergrande can use the Chapter 15 proceeding to investigate Evergrande's financial dealings. For example, can a creditor ask whether any money that would otherwise be available to pay the creditor was transferred to Emperor Xi and his boys. That would be a no-brainer in a regular US Chapter 11, but Chapter 15 has some "play nice with the other guys" wrinkles to it.

#7 Another way to put it is: Can you take discovery from a guy who has nuclear weapons?

#8 So, like, are the Chinese selling US Treasuries because the US is more of an adversary or do they need the dough?

They are probably not too keen on the US Fed raising interest rates, either....all that property and all that debt.
