I have stumbled on an odd trading situation which is to the AI's disadvantage. It only seems to work when a region is wealthy and has reasonably good diplo ratings, but nonetheless...
*Load South Asia as Japan
*Offer and request an Embassy or similar treaty with a China or Taiwan, as they have large treasuries and workable ratings towards you; they will probably respond with a request for some money, 3bn in one case.
*Make a counter-offer with the sum of their treasury added (15bn); they will counter-offer you again with a bit more money (9bn total), but nowhere near enough to offset what you are asking.
*Accept and you would, in this case, profit by 6bn
Odd trade advantage

I can get AI to offer me money for nothing in exchange in many scenerios but it requires going bankrupt or bordering on debt for awhile
I haven't been in the situation recently but if I remember correctly I was self sufficient (or had huge surpluses were needed) and was in debt beyond bonds and constantly losing money and after a while the AI allies would bail me out. I'm positive I had Benulux offer me this once when I was West Germany because I actually tried for it to happen and exploited it by buying lots of stock for goods which caused me to go into large debt without killing the economy than once I recieved a payment I'd sell the required stocks of goods to clear my debt(they'd only offer me 1 but if I got out of debt did the same thing after a descent time absence they would offer again)
So Tokobo your probably right about it being agenda related.
