“In these circumstances, the Chinese have every incentive to rescue Europe. Yet that is a tall undertaking for Beijing. To save the continent, China would have to restructure the 17-nation euro zone, change the welfare-state mentality of the 27-member European Union, and buy hundreds of billions of never-to-be-repaid debt. Beijing, for all its power, obviously cannot succeed at the first two tasks, and it can accomplish the third only if it wants to destroy its own finances.”
