Despite China’s traditional preference of staying out of the domestic affairs of other nations, senior Chinese officials’ frustrations are growing louder and louder. Stephen Roach, the non-executive chairman of Morgan Staley Asia, said senior Chinese officials told him the debt ceiling debte in the U.S. is “truly shocking.” “We understand the politics,” a Chinise official said, “but your government’s continued recklessness is astonishing.” And newspapers around the world are voicing discontent with Congress’s handling of the debt ceiling:

Hmm, well I switch between Firefox and Chrome usually, but just for grins I downloaded Opera on the basis of this convo. It is much faster. I don't know why. Mostly I'm just enjoying the speed. It is kind of different, but I will adapt for speed.
