I never claimed they didn't. I claimed the reserve requirements didn't constrain lending.
Capital requirements are what constrain lending in the west (I think the Chinese government does try to control lending in part via a reserve requirement). For example, the "Core Tier 1 Capital Ratio" [0] is extremely important in this regard.
