Noted hedge fund manager Jim Chanos has been bearish on China vocally since at least 2009. Below we have a video of Chanos appearing on Bloomberg today, after a recent trip to the region (but he still has yet to visit the mainland itself - and might at this point purposefully not choosing to just so those who say you can't know anything about a country unless you visit it), appears ever more bearish. A lot of comments directly on the financial system of China, although he still delves into the real estate situation as well.
