Читая истерию на просторах мировых и признанных изданий во всем мире начиная сегодня от FT, до Bloomberg, то единственное, что нашел —  что Россию и Китай с их населением уже заживо похоронили. При чем, в реальности, эта паника или больше похоже на истерию, ничего общего с действительным положением вещей не имеет. Сейчас, конечно, можно и бросать камни, но вот как Вы удивитесь, если посмотрите на Пакистан в 2007 и 2008 годах, и то, что писали о ситуации в стране и ее перспективах:

World Socialist Web Site:

“Wracked by political instability and hard hit by the global economic crisis, Pakistan is teetering on the brink of default. The country’s foreign reserves have dwindled to around $4.5 billion, equivalent to about six weeks of imports, foreign investors have fled the country in droves and the rupee has fallen sharply. The international credit rating agency, Standard & Poor’s, has downgraded Pakistan to a position superior only to the Seychelles, which has already defaulted"

The Economist: 

Economy is close to freefall. Inflation is running at about 30%. The rupee has devalued by about 25% in just three months. The fiscal deficit is a whopping 10% of GDP. Foreign-exchange reserves cover just six weeks of imports. A $500m Eurobond matures next February, but the market has already decided it is junk. The country needs at least $3 billion in short order, and a further $10 billion over the next two years to plug a balance-of-payments gap. Without it, default abroad might well coincide with political anarchy at
