Economist Mag Makes Up New China Term

Catching up is so very hard to do ... The emerging economies have had a great decade. That was the easy part. THIS month Italy's government sold a slug of five-year paper at one of its regular bond auctions. There was barely enough demand for the bonds to meet supply, even at a steep interest rate. Contrast that with the sale in August of 20 billion yuan ($3.1 billion) of paper by China in Hong Kong's fledgling offshore market. The yield was miserly yet there were more than four times as many bids as there were bonds for sale. – The Economist
