Day 55 - Next to historic downtown Colombo, China has been working hard for a few years to create new land. A master plan for development started with land reclamation. Just a hint opened today to take the pressure off the fact the country has no dollars left. This will help to keep people talking about something else. We'll be just like Singapore or Dubai. And everyone in the world will be using Renminbi in a few years anyway.
"Never mind you haven't the cash," says China. "Remember when you didn't have the cash for the grand southern port, we built for you. You can just sign it over to us for the next 99 years. We'll both benefit."
