How is this a "chinese" problem? The recent sub-prime loan bullshit took place in the US and almost sank the global economy.
The bond pricing fixing took place in the UK and cost investors billions.
This is endemic to banking globally. The only thing that seemed to help was Glass–Steagall in the US which of course, banks got repealed because it worked too well.
