A counter move might consider making a bid for BOTH the LSE and HKEX.

Hail Mary move by the Chinese before this bubble bursts imo.

They are super desperate to spread out their debt and desperate for any capital/ currency other than the rmb. If I had big dick money I'd be shorting all over the place for a currency devaluation.

The English better pray their politicians block this instead of selling out.

If the limeys had any balls, they'd ask for double and then turn the Chinese down. Or demand double AND bring Hong Kong back as a colony under the crown.

The sun supposedly never sets on the British Empire.

They'll probably do the pussy thing and take the easy money.

England has their own Trump now according to my sister

He's still fighting the entrenched non Brexit crowd and trying to LEAVE

The most important thing IMO is that Hong Kong keeps protesting in massive crowds

The Chi Coms are realizing the same thing all powers find out. You can't kill everyone these days without a massive backlash.

I don't think they'll take it. There's a reason basically everyone.gif turned down incorporating Chinese markets into the international banking system.

Rave is also right. England is way too divisive atm for this to get done imo.

Word. Motherfucking word.

It took the Berliners almost 30 years to figure that shit out.

Throbber's rules of international finance:

Take the Chinese money. Always.

Never send the Chinese money. Ever.

Don't go into business with the Chinese.

I wouldn't take rmb for anything.

I think Owen pumped my gas while driving through Oregon yesterday. He sure must drive fast he was there every time I needed gas. Or maybe they were all related?
