*Another Potential Default:  Again in mainland China, there have been rumblings of another credit default over the past several days. The CBIRC disclosed that China Huarong Asset Management (2799.HK) [Huarong] is actively working with its auditor to complete its annual report. The issue appears to be Huarong’s legacy exposure associated with the misdeeds of its former Chairman, which still need to be addressed post-removal in 2018; and *Ratings Agencies Are More Than Culpable: Wouldn’t you know it, the sleepy, fee hungry ratings agencies (Standard &amp; Poors, Moody’s, and Fitch Ratings) finally put Huarong on review for a potential downgrade. C’mon guys, where have you been?
