Thousands of corrupt Chinese government officials have stolen more than $120bn (£74bn) and fled overseas, mainly to the US, according to a report released by China's central bank. Between 16,000 and 18,000 officials and employees of state-owned companies left China with the funds from the mid-1990s up until 2008. The officials used offshore bank accounts to smuggle the funds, according to the study posted on the People's Bank of China website this week but which has since been removed. It said the officials smuggled about 800 billion yuan into the US, Australia, Canada and Holland through offshore bank accounts or investments, like property or collectables. The stolen funds were covered up by disguising them as business transactions by establishing private companies to receive the money transfers. The study said corruption inside China was severe enough to threaten the nation's economic and political stability.

Others are saying the euro will collapse, well so what, those jackals are angling for state assets as security on their highly profitable loans, since we wouldn't cut the corporation tax. The free trade area will survive just fine. Some are saying we won't get any more money from Europe if Greece defaults, well so what, the government spends too much anyway, you get recession level pay in a recession level economy, welcome to the downslope of benchmarking. Time to cut left and right. Greece very much made its own bed by lying to get into the euro, then trying to hide those lies over the last ten years; it's closer to a third world country than a modern European nation. Our big problem right now is that the rest of Europe is trying to lump us in with Greece as feckless wasters - bottom line is we were doing alright, up until FF saddled us with the bank debts, which do not belong to the Irish taxpayer. Take away the bank debt again and we'd be in pretty decent shape, although still spending too much. Its a mess from top to bottom, but I don't think Greece getting its just desserts will have much of a knock on effect for us here.

Banks only want to make sure they get their money back, and don't much care who pays it. For myself, I'm calling bs on it.
