It looks to me like China is trying.

American banks are in trouble. Banks around the world are. China's banks can't be thriving either but they're backed by the government; and China is obviously trying to draw foreign investors into buying stocks in Chinese banks since they posted higher dividends. Strange indeed that when American banks are reducing dividends, Chinese ones are raising theirs.

May 4, 2020 China keeps dividends flowing as coronavirus crushes payouts globally

Chinese state-backed companies’ have stepped up dividend payouts in sharp contrast to companies in Europe and the US who are hoarding cash to see them through the coronavirus pandemic. This relative largesse has attracted the attention of yield-seeking investors.

Beijing’s long-term push to attract institutional investors is paying dividends this year as many state-owned enterprises (SOEs) maintain, or even raise their payouts, fund managers said.

Even as the world’s second-largest economy suffered its first quarterly contraction since 1992, fund managers said they are snapping up Chinese stocks in the telecoms, banking and energy sectors for their generous dividend payouts.

“Big dividend payers tend to include the largest SOEs, which are often financial firms, energy producers and real estate developers with cyclical profits,” said Catherine Yeung, an investment director at Fidelity International based in Hong Kong.

State-owned China Mobile bumped up its 2019 full-year dividend payment by about 1 per cent year-on-year despite a 9.5 per cent fall in net profits. Among financial stocks, China Merchants Bank, raised its dividend payout to 33 per cent from 30 per cent. Ping An Bank said in its 2019 results announcement that it plans to pay out not less than 40 per cent of its profit in 2020, up from a previously set range of 10-30 per cent. Chinese banks have either state-backed or central bank-backed shareholders.

It seems clear to me that the Chinese government is going into more debt itself in order to draw investors to China and away from the US and Europe.

If they can devalue the dollar. they have prety much destroyed the US economy,

this would benefit china and europe

I did apologise a bit later on .... I shouldn’t have generalised.....I forget that this is mainly an American forum- so I can imagine the ‘ ouch ‘ when an outsider is critical in that way - irrespective of whether their was any truth in it, somethings just don’t need to be said out loud !!

Part of the sting was the truth!

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the virus hoax.

That is also part of the media deception. A continuous stream of false information about this hoax and about Trump (with Trump sabotaging himself at every opportunity). And of course about Biden. They want the *coronation* of corrupt, incompetent, senile Biden, regardless of his evil deeds.

And let's not forget the Demoncrats. If ever there was a group of evildoers controlled by Satan, they are on display in Washington, D.C. The real issue is when will they be tried, prosecuted, and locked up?

Why use such juvenile insults like "Demoncrats"?

If you examine their words and their deeds carefully and objectively, you will conclude that they are demonic. To list every evil thing that they have done and said over the last twelve years would required a book. In fact there are several books out there which document the destructive influence of the Demoncrat party. Please note what is stated below: "With a history that includes murder, treason, slavery, segregation, sedition, bribery, and systematic vote theft, it can be argued that the Democrats are, at root, the Anti-American party".

And that's your opinion. I suspect that if the media promoted the Mark as something great and necessary that you would jump on board the sinking ship!

You're the only one that seems to lack discernment around here, maybe @Enoch111 too!

I have no way of knowing when people are joking when what they say looks possible. For all I know, maybe he is being controlled by the Dark Side.

I don't know him well enough, only about a week now. I personally just think that he's extremely incompetent as an exegete.

 

[Rita]

How can the virus be a hoax if it is actually a real virus - also why are you still making it about Trump, the democrats, and America when it is affecting every single country........or don’t you believe it is world wide.
Also why are you so caught up with America Enoch , when you are Canadian - you speak like an American , did you move but inside still believe you are a citizen there ( genuinely curious )

It was facetious. I used his exact wording just to make the point that he was making serious assertions, that could just not be proven from either his insight, or vantage point. Therefore, I was implying that his frivolous, unfounded and misguided remark, said more about him than those that he was accusing. ...of course, I don't believe that he's possessed from such a brief and distant encounter with him.

I am sure didn't but it can perceived as such.

I agree. This was not DNB's instigation.

That guy is hardly objective. Saying you are careful and objective doesn't make it true. Just wait until Trump leaves office. Expect to see more of his "minions" put on trial -- and he won't be able to pardon them.

To list every lie told by Trump might require several books.

 

[DNB]

They are odd, for sure, very odd. He doesn't assert anything, or seem to provoke engagement. And when pressed to do so, he entirely evades the obligation and duty. Weird!

That's fine H2S, whatever you think best, it was just a sarcastic remark on my part, with no deep or serious theological value, so I don't mind it being deleted of course.
Thanks!

I agree. This was not DNB's instigation.

Thanks Willie T, much appreciated!

@Rita It's often commented that in Western Canada the outlook is significantly more oriented to the US, or at least, common outlooks often seem to prevail sometimes, how ever much sometimes denied.
