Editorial Reviews

Review

"...readers will value his personal insights that will provide direction to forming your own investment portfolio in China..." (The star online, 12 August 2003)

From the Inside Flap

Written in an engaging and accessible way by a personal investor for other personal investors, The China Investor offers a comprehensive look at

• the companies at the forefront of China’s march to superpower economic status
• the firms started a new breed of private-sector entrepreneurs
• the best-performing Greater China mutual funds
• the pitfalls of investing in a restructuring economy
• the online resources that will help you invest in China equities wherever you are
• the part China assets can play in a diversified retirement portfolio.

The China Investor recognizes China’s gains from two decades of economic reform and the exciting potential of the country’s membership in the World Trade Organization. At the same time, it takes a clear-eyed view of the policy misfires and internal stresses. The concluding chapter focuses on what can go wrong in China, from unsustainable GDP growth, to the implosion of the banking system, to chaotic aftermath of a rapid disintegration of the communist party.

The China Investor is predicated on the proposition th at there is no turning back for market-opening reforms. China’s coastal provinces now have the infrastructure and skills to serve as the workshop of the world and move up the value chain. Its rapidly growing middle class has accumulated a critical mass of wealth to fuel domestic consumption. An increasingly affluent citizenry will usher in some form of democracy, as has happened in South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. When China has become the next economic superpower, investors who made the leap of faith today will get their just reward.
