George Costanza Soros is at it again. He reckons a hard landing for China's economy is 'unavoidable'

The last time I heard from Soros on China was when he said it was not an exaggeration to say the world could be on the threshold of a third world war, especially if China's economy falters

Which, of course it has been (an exaggeration).

This time he is being a bit more cautious and reasonable:

"A hard landing is practically unavoidable ... I'm not expecting it, I'm observing it. China can manage it. It has resources and greater latitude in policies, with $3 trillion in reserves."

He spoke with Bloomberg

Soros says he is long U.S. government bonds, short stocks. And:

  • Says Russia is in a very weak position ... that he believes Russia has enough reserves to last for just "a couple of years"

George has been quite vocal this week:

  • says the EU is on the verge of collapse
  • "I'd be surprised if the Fed raised rates again"

GS has been in Davos this week.
