Sir, – Your report (World News, November 7th) on China’s confidence in the capacity of the EU to tackle its ongoing debt crisis is interesting. Given the repeated failure, to date, of Europe’s leaders to devise and implement a successful strategy in this regard, the cynics might argue that your headline – “Europe can solve debt problem, says Hu” – should more appropriately have read: “Europe can solve debt problem, says who?”. – Yours, etc,
