Vice President Biden in 2011 set in front of a chinese audience, your policy is bound one which i fully understand. Im not second guessing the one child policy. That is a policy that is had barbaric consequences, which among other things, chang was seeking to protect Chinese Women against. So words are important. And its important for our leaders to be consistent and strong on this issue. Thirty seconds on this question. Secretary clintons statements was i think a fair distillation of the policy of every administration for the last 40 years. She was perhaps indiscreet in saying so, but that was, there was nothing new in what she was saying.

It would also be true if they exercised a default across clause. All of these things could make it v
The government and a bank because perhaps that settlement is not the result of each party looking at their options and the evidence of the other side but rather simply the governments overwhelming power. A bank can not really afford to take on the government in this way or take on its supervisor and as a result you wonder, unless theres a lot of information around what actually happened, you wonder whether there is really an arms length kind of settlement. The same question arises where the settlement has occurred and we dont have very much information about the evidence that the government had to create the settlement. And why the, or why the bank agreed to the settlement. Theres a lack of transparency in these cases. And again, because of the fact that the government has so much power with respect to the bank, the lack of transparency raises questions about the rule of law.
