China's economy should expand by 10.5 percent this year as an investment boom surges ahead despite tightening government controls, the country's top planner said in comments reported Monday by state media.

Total economic output should exceed 20 trillion yuan (US$2.5 trillion; euro1.9 trillion), said Ma Kai, chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission, according to the Xinhua News Agency and the China Daily newspaper. They said he made the comments at a weekend meeting with Chinese legislators. . . .

Chinese leaders worry that a surge in credit and spending will ignite inflation or leave companies and lenders with dangerously high debt.

"The relentless expansion has yet to be stopped," Ma said according to the China Daily. It said he blamed local officals and banks for "fanning investment expansion."


That damn yuan just won't sit still, will it?

Ma warned that the government will take tough action against any unapproved construction, the newspaper said.

Translated as: we will nationalize anything that is worth the trouble.

It should be noted that half of that 20 million yuan is accounted for from take out orders of General Tso's chicken alone.

blackheart, like santa claus, god, and the wicked witch of the west (flanked by those horrid monkeys) is always around, watching, plotting, suffering.
