Chinese banks report profit despite slowdown
China's banks reported four year record high net income for 2011, the fastest growth since 2007 as revenue from financial services and loans erased the negative effects from defaults caused by slowing economy. Chinese financial institutions earned a total net profit of CNY 1.25 trillion (USD 198 billion), a 39% improvement compared to 2010.
