Guessing about new bond issuance; Panda stimulus for US-China relations; Space plans; Tax collectors

The South China Morning Post reports that “a proposal containing a stimulus figure will be submitted to the NPC Standing Committee for review and approval”, but that it might not be disclosed until after the NPC Standing Committee meeting, which rumors now going around suggest will not until November, though I am skeptical and still think the NPCSC will meet this month. Lingling Wei at the Wall Street Journal reports that according to her sources Xi finally relented to the calls for more stimulus last month as he “wanted to bail out indebted Chinese municipalities on the brink of collapse and revive the stock market, without veering too far from his focus on letting the state drive China’s transformation into an industrial and technological powerhouse”, as “reports were flowing into the power center in Beijing of a festering liquidity crisis across China, according to the officials and government advisers close to Beijing’s decision-making. In particular, financially strained local governments have been struggling to pay civil servants as well as state-owned and private contractors.” Clearly something concerning rose to Xi’s level in September to cause the leadership to hold an out of cycle Politburo meeting about the economy. A liquidity crisis at some local governments would not be a surprise, and the risks from such a crisis to political security and social stability would probably be something to which Xi would pay attention.
