Dodd-frank And Independent Actions Of Banks Go A Long Way In Terms Of Progress On Capital, Liquidity, Transparency, "living Wills" (plans For Winding Down A Bank In The Event Of A Collapse) And Resolutions.

My Guess Is The Big Chinese Banks Will Be In 100 countries By Then. They Will Have Very Sophisticated Operations, And They May Very Well Have Bought Banks Around The World In Countries That Allow It. I Mean, I Don't Think The American Government Would Allow Them To Buy Jpmorgan. But They Will Be Able To Buy A Sizable Big Bank In The U.s. At Some Point. Whether They Do Or Not, Or If It's Allowed Or Not, I Don't Know.
