If we are really lucky, they will back the world away from the precipice in time to prevent more than a few members of the crowd from pitching over the edge.
I see something similar: A beginning virtuous circle where China takes some of its savings and starts to buy clean water and energy technologies and infrastructure buildout from us and Europe. That's my bet anyway.
