Courtesy of one of the anonymous writers of The Economist, we are told in a complex and pretentious if not movie-like way what amounts to a simple and well known fact: there is money flowing out of mainland China via Macau. Not exactly breaking news, of course.
One would have thought that The Economist was aware that there is no free movement of capital in China.
As for the rest, read some of the entries that I have graced with the label 'Macau bashing', which describes the literary genre to which they rightfully pertain, and which also applies here.
This text of The Economist is not much of a window on China: it's more of a window on how anyone can fill pages with low quality reporting.
Next week perhaps The Economist could write on the following topic: London's financial industry: A window on Europe. The text should include spice on who may be attracted to deposit money in the City and why.
