"considering calling for a referendum"
I don't think it's going to happen. Politicians don't let things go to the people if there's too big a risk that the people will vote a way they don't want. (Now, do you understand, Rep. Paul?)

China...ports
The US had an issue a few years ago concerning giving the management of Port Long Beach to a Chinese company, but Congressional and popular pressure squashed the deal.

The West may buy a cheap sheet or other bed linen from China, and will ship them all the debt instruments it can, but when it comes to letting a fundamentally politically Communist, economically fascist state own ports, especially in countries that have NATO among their club memberships, not going to happen.

But what about leasing them to them for 35 years for several billion? I'm sure you're familiar with the details...

China's new Silk Road into Europe

And while, yes...on US soil...I could see it not being very likely, but in broke old Europe, has it not, in fact, already happened?

One other thing about China that I forgot earlier.

In the report: "Aggravated by EU's lack of market economy recognition, [China] pull[ed] trading lines with French banks," that first 'reason' is just political bull: most likely, they just won't take the counterparty risk.

Earlier, it was reported by FT that Siemens, pulled €500 million form a large French bank.

There you have it from both barrels: somebody acting on concerns about liquidity of the French banks, and somebody else acting on concerns about the solvency.

Somebody doesn't have long to live without life support.

Time for bed. Stop above mid 36 handle. Given the bonds are dropping (in the face of Op Twist, wtf?), and with FOMC tomorrow, I won't be real sad if I wake up flat.
