China "Fixes" Liquidity Crisis By Banning Media Use Of Words "Cash Crunch"

China "Fixes" Liquidity Crisis By Banning Media Use Of Words "Cash Crunch" | Zero Hedge:
"How do you "fix" a nations' banking system's increasingly desperate need (and dependence upon) for government-provided liquidity without giving in and just providing all the inflation-stoking liquidity the banks demand?
Simple - in China - you ban the media from discussing it.
As The FT reports, Chinese propaganda officials have ordered financial journalists and some media outlets to tone down their coverage of a liquidity crunch in the interbank market, in a sign of how worried Beijing is that the turmoil will continue.
The censors have warned reporters not to "hype" the multiple-sigma spikes in overnight-funding rates and have forbidden the press from using the Chinese words for "cash crunch.""
