Off-balance sheet shadow lending by Chinese banks.
01/12/2010
Even after the efforts to restrain lending in 2010 in China following heightened stimulus lending in 2009, the level of bank lending has exceeded 10.5 trillion yuan and is at the same level as 2009. This includes the lending through trusts and other mechanisms according to Fitch Ratings. This explains the inflationary pressures and property bubble.

The role of "loan guarantee chains" in fueling China's credit bubble and the surge in bad loans in 2014-2015
11/24/2014
Experts says what is unusual in China is that the loan guarantees for one firm are given by other firms in different industries. One defaulting textile firm had its loan guranteed by a machinery maker and a paper maker. The result is it creates problems for all of the firms. The other problem aspect of this arrangement is that banks evaluated credit risk by using these loan guarantees as evidence of creditworthiness. Till 2012 with no slowdown in growth in sight no questions were asked. With the slowdown in 2014-2015 this means a surge in bad loans in China's banking system unlike what it has experienced before, as continued high pace of growth can no longer be relied on to cushion the banking system from the risks.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
