Europe debt crisis: 3 reasons why China won't help out

1. China has been burned before
Chinese leaders, especially in the financial field, are extraordinarily cautious. China’s sovereign wealth fund has already been burned by a couple of bad foreign investments, and the eurozone looks like too much of a political mess for Beijing to want to get involved. For men who hate uncertainty, Europe is not a comfortable place to be at the moment.
