MIKE PENCE ON CHINA
The Impatience Of China's Xi Jinping, China
by Markos Kounalakis via Miami Herald
China is a methodical nation that cautiously plays the long game. That’s the story China likes to tell about itself and the one it would like the world to believe. Unfortunately for China, that once-credible narrative is now a full-blown myth.

Economic Freedom, Part 2
by Alvin Rabushka via Thoughtful Ideas
Most of us have an intuitive or common-sense notion of the meaning of economic freedom. A smattering of features or attributes includes free markets, private enterprise, voluntary exchange, capitalism, limited government, laissez-faire, free trade, low taxes, free movement of capital, and other dimensions of economic life.

Stephen Joske writes: China does not need a democratic transition to resume economic growth and military spending. We would be dealing with a China that has lost its post-Global Financial Crisis hubris, but which would become harder to deal with as it grows more insular, all the while blaming domestic problems on external forces. – War on the Rocks

Mohamed A. El-Erian writes: Rather than wait it out, China would be better advised to follow the approach of South Korea, Mexico and Canada by making concessions to reach an accommodation with the US. [...]Making concessions now won't deliver China’s theoretical “first best,” nor will it be free of costs and risks. Yet it may well be the best feasible option the government has if it is to avoid the bigger threat of seeing its development process derailed. - Bloomberg

Turkey’s Walking Dead: Zombie Companies Lurk Around Every Corner
Aykan Erdemir, John Lechner — War on the Rocks
Following Turkey’s failed coup attempt in July 2016, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan imposed a state of emergency, curtailing not only political but also economic freedoms, including a ban on corporate bankruptcies. When the Turkish government lifted the state of emergency two years later, it naturally led to fears of a bankruptcy surge. The Turkish lira’s meltdown in August, contributing to a 40 percent devaluation of the currency this year alone, has exacerbated such fears. Erdogan’s response has been to allow companies to exclude foreign currency losses from bankruptcy calculations, which risks creating a “zombie economy” to complement Turkey’s already lifeless democracy… Read more

Debt: Challenges Ahead
mentioning John B. Taylor via World Bank Publications
Public debt is rising in both emerging markets and low income developing countries to levels not seen since the early 1980s. Forty percent of low income developing countries are now either in debt distress or at high risk of default. At the same time, corporate debt in emerging markets is also exceeding historical levels. This situation calls for new efforts within developing countries and the international community to contain vulnerabilities rising from these increasing levels of debt.

SAUDI ARABIA PROPS UP YEMENI CURRENCY WHILE IRAN STEPS UP SANCTIONS AVOIDANCE REGIME

Saudi Arabia offers millions to stave off Yemen currency collapse 
Saudi Arabia said on Monday that it will transfer $200 million to Yemen’s Central Bank to support the country’s deteriorating economy. The pledge made by Saudi King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud aims to ease the financial burden suffered by Yemenis who have been protesting the collapsing Yemeni riyal. The Central Bank increased interest rates as the national currency witnessed a free fall because of the ongoing war in the country.
​
In a separate announcement, Saudi Arabia admitted on Monday to making mistakes in its military operations in Yemen. “The task force recommended that perpetrators should be held to account and victims should enjoy redress,” Saudi Defense Ministry official Osaiker Alotaibi told the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child investigating the death of children in the Yemeni conflict. The kingdom has come under international criticism since its intervention in the Yemeni war in 2015, for killing civilians and bombing schools and hospitals.
