Agreed 100% with what you said: “Chinese banks and their foreign strategic investors have been sleeping in the same bed but dreaming differently”. Even worse, these so called “strategic” partners have treated the Chinese Banks as their ATM machines! These Chinese Banks had gained ZERO benefit by partnering with their foreign speculative investors. Hopefully, AgBank will avoid making the same stupid mistakes committed by its predecessors.

I like Chinese Agbank, Agbank becomes the World top bank of the capital since the world financial recession of last year. Agbank must make a lot of each branches of around country. Chinese Villagers can use the branches of Agbank.

The rural areas need all the help and support, certainly it would be a very pragmatic way of delivering that help with microfinancing. If handled properly you can achieve a great success in alleviating the poverty.

Fascinating. I think it will be crucial for China’s banks to start looking within the country to help formulate sophisticated banking concepts that fit the Chinese market, rather than continuing to look elsewhere. Obviously, as you indicate, not everything in the global banking industry is “one size fits all.”

Very insightful comment, it’s not exactly about International banks are “emperors with no cloth.”
It is about being in the same bed with differnt dreams.

Very realistic approach.
