Section: Daily Dispatches By Alasdair Macleod GoldMoney.com, St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands Thursday, November 1, 2018 The next credit crisis poses a major challenge to Chinas manufacturing-based economy, because higher global and yuan interest rates are bound to have a devastating effect on Chinese business models and foreign consumer demand. Dealing with it is likely to be the biggest challenge faced by the Chinese government since the ending of the Maoist era.
