    Hi Tom,

    I’m new — and heard about you over at Dan’s blog, China Law Blog. Just wanted to know if you’re on Twitter? There seems to be something amiss with your RSS feed…and I’d wanted to add it to my aggregator so I don’t miss any posts.

    Illuminating stuff…look forward to catching up on your posts as well.

    I checked the RSS feed and it seems to be working OK. Let me know if you still have problems.

    Hi Tom,

    I have been following your blog for some time. I really appreciate the amount of information you are able to distill on a regular basis. I have been reading your posts, hoping to see if there are any imminent signs of an imploding US dollar being triggered by a major change in China’s currency reserve or investment policies. I get the feeling from your posts, however, that there’s a shell game going on over there that is bound to implode. It appears to me like there is a serious lack of transparency coupled with significant government participation in the real estate sector and an exchange rate that is artificially manipulated. If you ever get the time to step back and give a summary of the big picture and where it appears to be heading, I would be very interested in your take on the subject. Thanks again for sharing your insight.

    Sincerely,

    Paul

    Hi Tom,

    Great blog. I came to it because I have been reading Song Hongping’s Currency War lately. Were you working on a translation for that? By the way, I used to work for Xinhua FInance in Shanghai; glad to see SMRA is still up to good work.
