Purchasing bonds to support Chang-Kai-shek''s regime would be like buying bonds from Hitler or Hussien.
Only Chang was a helluva lot more crooked, corrupt and murderous. I don''t think they should pay ''em.

So they invested their money into another country and lost.

I sure wish more of that same thing would be happening today.

Why does anyone trust any government? Please remember that "THE GOVERNMENT" is made up of "PEOPLE". Greedy, money hungry people. How many countries have we given aid to that have turned around and either attacked us, their own people or neighboring countries? Bring our troops home and lock the borders!!!

Anyone who bought those bonds was an idiot. China was already on the verge of war with Japan at that time as well as in the middle of a civil war-- really great investment savy people. I''ve got some swampland down heah in fat old Southern states you can invest in-- actually pretty good investment since there''s so much methane (nat gas) in those swamp bottoms!

They can probably trade those Chinese bonds for some Enron stock even up.

How ''bout they pay the bonds we hold (I got 2) and we pay off the US govt bonds they hold. They no pay, we no pay -- oh, and no capital makrets access, either. And quit using so much oil -- get your own.
