In this week, there were hints and signs those frighten could be realised, with Fantasia, another Chinese property company also missing a payment on an around US$206 million ($291 million) bond that had mature the day prior to, igniting a default. And in a unique and different interview with Bloomberg this week, Blinken encouraged China to perform “responsibly” when it came to admonishing the escalating disaster, giving the suggestion to the firm’s collapse could affect us all badly.
In all seriousness, now I am concerned. Why Blinken is commenting on this is beyond me unless there is something we don't know. Say what you will about the Secretary, he has never spoken wildly and always been rather restrained in his choices of words. https://t.co/aYqZf24OlZ

On Wednesday, in his disturbing interview which he was giving to Bloomberg Television, Blinken generated a direct petition to China. Blinken stated that “The country China has to make monarch economic decisions for itself, but we also know that what China does financially is going to have profound complications, profound effects, on literally the whole globe because all of our economics are so interlaced,”
He further stated that “So certainly when it comes to something that could have a serious and major impact on the economy of China we look to China to perform responsibly and to deal adequately with any challenges.” The controversial warning of Blinken instantly sent shockwaves through the financial world, causing some to deliberate there may be more to the story than most were already aware of.
Though, his comments also draw the attention of a degree of criticism, with respected research company China Beige Bookmaking a claim on Twitter his warning ” comes off as disconnected and clueless. Anyway of the interpretation, the interview of Blinken makes the 1st time a senior Biden administration official has to contemplate the debacle, pointing towards the growing, global sense of agita closing Beijing’s handling of it.
