hanzheng.jpg "Financiers have the least conscience in the world when it comes to making money... By saying that, I would have offended many bankers and financiers, but this is my personal experience."

 

— Han Zheng (韩正), mayor of Shanghai.

 

 

Han Zheng voiced his misgivings about bankers in a recent interview about fulfilling China's mandate on making Shanghai a world financial capital. He went on to add that Shanghai needs to contain the "animal spirits" that led Western banks to take on their oversized credit debt. Source: Bloomberg

"You are all scum, come to my city to do business and make great profits!!!"

CCP cadres turning to cheap populism......intersting. What does he think of real estate developers, I wonder? Urr, I mean the smaller developers after the largest, most predatory player, namely the Municipal Gov. of Shanghai?
