CCTV reported today that China has founded the first rating agency, Dagong, in the developing world. It's an independent private entity.

In 2010 UK deficit accounts for 9.8% of GDP while its debt for 78.7%. Its economy grew only 1.3% which is below world average last year.

In the Chinese language, Dagong means Big(Da) Fairness(gong). Dagong is also the first two characters of a Chinese idiom(da gong wu si)which means unselfishness.

Only by doing a round of nirvana could the CPM get rebirth.
