>Many analysts treat Chinese corporate debt as more-or-less equivalent to public debt (and don't do this for the United States), on the assumption that the government will bail out SOEs rather than allow them to fail and create widespread unemployment
I'd say this certainly gives a lot of political leeway in China, compared to having the opposite in place. I wonder if all the major US companies that were bailed out, that their debt should be considered public debt seeing there is already a precedent in place. But something tells me I doubt moodys will have a word on that.
