China in not headed for a "crash" for the simple reason that the government controls the banking system.The question in any financial crisis is who is going to assume the losses. In market economies, it is generally "the little people" (h/t Alan Simpson), that is, those that do not count. But ultimately the Chinese government will absorb the losses instead of those now affected, the mortgage holders and bank depositors. And cowboy capitalism will be moderated more.

The Tehran summit uniting Iran-Russia-Turkey was a fascinating affair in more ways than one. Ostensibly about the Astana peace process in Syria, launched in 2017, the summit joint statement duly noted that Iran, Russia and (recently rebranded) Turkiye will continue, “cooperating to eliminate terrorists” in Syria and “won’t accept new facts in Syria in the name of defeating terrorism.”That’s a wholesale rejection of the “war on terror” exceptionalist unipolarity that once ruled West...
