China Raises Interest Rates Again to Cool Inflation<\/h2>\n

By EDWARD WONG<\/h6>\n
Published: December 25, 2010<\/h6>\n

BEIJING \u2014 China\u2019s central bank announced on Saturday that it was raising interest rates for the second time in about two months in what appears to be a long-term campaign to suppress inflation as many ordinary Chinese express discontent with rising consumer prices.<\/p>\n

The People\u2019s Bank of China said it would raise the one-year benchmark lending rate by 25 basis points to 5.81 percent, and the benchmark deposit rate by the same amount to 2.75 percent.<\/p>\n

The Chinese economy has been awash in liquidity due to government stimulus money and generous lending by state banks. Chinese officials are now concerned about an overheated economy and the inflationary pressures that come with that<\/strong>.\u00a0 http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2010\/12\/26\/business\/global\/26chinarates.html?src=busln<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now while most people probably think that this is an internal Chinese matter as few Westerners own any Renminbi Yuan, when a major player on the world scene raises interest rates that puts pressure on the other major currencies to do so as well.<\/p>\n

The bolded two sentences above should send chills to those who live in the USA.\u00a0 Compared to the USA, and on a per citizen basis, China has not spent very much money for its stimulus.\u00a0 Furthermore, the Chinese did not have to put their nation in serious debt to provide that stimulus.<\/p>\n

China will have problems.\u00a0 Notice the following from LCG’s<\/a> Dr. Meredith, that he wrote after visiting China:<\/p>\n

Many publications have suggested that the 21st century will be \u201cChina\u2019s century.\u201d Even though the Chinese are fiercely moving forward, and their progress in developing their industries is obvious, these publications are dead wrong for two reasons. First, the inspired word of God describes specifically how a coming European Union will be the dominant force in this world\u2014obviously within the next several years. Therefore, brethren, I would like to focus your mind on this matter so you can more intelligently \u201cwatch\u201d world events along this line as they unfold before your very eyes. In the coming years, you will perhaps even see a revolt of the peasants in the outlying Chinese cities, who have lagged far behind the standard of living afforded those who have moved to Beijing and Shanghai. Plus, the tremendous pollution of the water, air and foodstuffs may bring about massive disease epidemics and other problems for the Chinese.<\/p>\n

In addition, distracting wars and other events may\u2014 as God chooses to guide it\u2014greatly undermine the material progress now being made by the Chinese. Meanwhile, you will soon see the European Union evolve into an absolutely powerful and dynamic force in the world\u2014 ultimately to become the \u201cBeast\u201d as revealed in Revelation 17 in your own Bible!<\/p>\n

So the 21st century will not be the \u201cChinese century!\u201d Rather it will appear to become the European century for a few years, until the magnificent return of Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords. From then on, the 21st century will be, indeed, \u201cChrist\u2019s century!\u201d And all of us who are able to understand the \u201cBig Picture\u201d of world events from God\u2019s point of view should be preparing to help straighten out the appalling degree of suffering, starvation and misconduct we find on this earth today in virtually every nation (Meredith R.C. An Inspiring and Successful Trip. Living Church News. May-June 2007, p. 21).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And even secular sources are starting to teach some of what Dr. Meredith did. Notice the following from 2010:<\/p>\n

China will do anything to grow its economy, as the alternatives will lead to political unrest. A lot of peasants moved to the cities in search of higher-paying jobs during the go-go times. Because China lacks the social safety net of the developed world, unemployed people aren\u2019t just inconvenienced by the loss of their jobs, they starve (this explains the high savings rate in China) and hungry people don\u2019t complain, they riot. Once you look at what\u2019s taking place in the Chinese economy through that lens, the decisions of its leaders start making sense, or at least become understandable. (Vitaliy N. Katsenelson. China: No Shortcut to Greatness. The Daily Reckoning, March 1, 2010)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, China has to be careful. It is likely to have unrest, even though it is getting wealthier.<\/p>\n

The USA on the other hand is getting poorer.\u00a0 It just does not know it.\u00a0 Civil unrest, including possible race riots, will happen in the USA.<\/p>\n

I would also add that WHEN the USA has to increase interest rates, this will lead to a downward spiral, that while it likely will have some “ups”, while result in the USA being taken over and destroyed.\u00a0 The Bible warns about the indebted one getting taken over by its creditors at the appointed time of the end (cf. Habakkuk 2), and the USA is currently the greatest debtor nation in the history of the world.\u00a0 And after interest rates rise for the USA dollar, it will be worse in the USA than almost any economist will publicly admit.<\/p>\n
