Jim Chanos: China has tons of contingent debt via state-owned enterprises

Edward Harrison — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 14:30:35 +0000

The overall gist of Jim Chanos' comments on Bloomberg yesterday were that China has off-balance sheet contingent liabilities due to its implicit commitment to state-owned enterprises which are kneee-deep in land and property speculation. See Michael Pettis piece on The debt-financed investments of Chinese state-owned enterprises for a comprehensive analysis of this problem

Jim Chanos makes the bearish case on China

Edward Harrison — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 14:15:00 +0000

Fortune recently did a story on Jim Chanos called "Chanos vs. China" which warrants reading. Below is the associated video in which you can hear Chanos making the bearish case for China. Chanos is the most unapologetic and aggressive of the well-known bears about his case. For example, Andy Xie seems to have backpedalled somewhat

I don’t know exactly what to make of Andy Xie’s quote near the end of this first CNBC video below. He says "It’s not crashing like I expected in 2012," referring to the Chinese housing market. Is Xie saying: A. The crash is not going to happen yet. Wait until 2012. Or is he saying

Jim Chanos: “We are really rewarding failed business decisions repeatedly”

Edward Harrison — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 20:00:05 +0000

Jim Chanos, the famous shortseller, was on CNBC talking about the auto bailouts. Chanos thinks the story the administration is telling us about the success of the bailouts is misleading. Note the figures that Chanos cites on the return on the government’s bailout investment in the automakers. The government is playing fast and loose here

Chanos, Roach Discuss Outlook for China’s Economy

Edward Harrison — Wed, 05 May 2010 23:04:13 +0000

Another classic from Bloomberg News. It runs about 22 minutes. I love Roach’s quip in jest to Chanos: "You ignorant slut." That quip in jest belies the congruence in Roach and Chanos’ views. Roach does say: "I’m not denying there’s not a bubble." He just feels the bubble will not lead to the kinds of

The New York Observer has a wonderful interview with Jim Chanos out today. In it, he talks about probable fraud and criminality at Lehman. I want to use his comments as a lead-in to a wider discussion about fraud and criminality in financial services. The Chanos interview reads: The Observer: Did anything surprise you about

Christopher Wood is bearish on Western stocks but still bullish on emerging Asia, especially India and China. He recommends an overweight Asia – Underweight West position for international investors in large part because he believes the inflationary signs in Asia are a sign of renewed strong economic growth there.
