BUSINESSSep 1If a ‘great rebalancing’ is coming, will China really have to pay for it?Michael Pettis says a great rebalancing is coming and China will pay for it. It’s strange how the man who insists that power decides who pays never tests his claim on Washington.

You guessed it: “A Great Rebalancing Is Coming: Who Will Bear the Costs of a Global Trade Adjustment?” It’s the same plot: Today’s...South China Morning Post

The experiment is also part of an attempt to confront other issues such as ageing farmers and more erratic weather, which have dented Malaysia’s rice output. Agriculture and Food Security Minister Mohamad Sabu said on Monday that Malaysia needed to raise its rice...South China Morning Post
