4.0 out of 5 stars Cracker wee book, July 22, 2008

By	Roger Thompson (Loburn, New Zealand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As the reviewer above, alludes, Mr Hsu operates an online subscription newsletter. One small niggle I have with the book is that it occasionally lapses into "advertorial" mode. Another grizzle is that the author takes a negative slant on the USA stockmarket. Examples given, of extended periods of low capital growth, do not include the dividend quotient. At those times dividend pay-outs were greater than today, and it is a tadge naughty to overlook them as a part of the total returns. But, aside from these points, this book is a mine of useful information for investors seeking an "emerging markets" exposure. Mr Hsu draws upon his personal life as a native of Taiwan, and presents, in an easily readable style, a brief history of China, and a progression to where the merger of capitalism and communism has brought China today. He gives excellent examples of stocks, mostly listed as ADRs on the NYSE, and their respective positive and/or negative attributes. At a cost of only $ 25, less than the brokerage fee on one share trade, this book represents stunning value. Bravo Mr Hsu.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great information, June 5, 2008

By	Bill Chapman - See all my reviews

I have read many other China investing books but I was particularly looking forward to this one mainly because I am a subscriber to Hsu's newsletters as well. I would say this is a good book for anyone interested in China and the opportunities it offers. As a subscriber I enjoyed the more detailed look at themes he merely touches on in his newsletters. Many of the topics he discusses in the book are not found in his other publications, so I was able to enjoy the new information.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Finally Understand China Investing, December 28, 2008

By	Lifelong Learner "L.L." (Mayland) - See all my reviews

Despite the fact that the Chinese stock market is down huge this year, everyone I know still believes that huge fortunes will be made investing in China over the next several years. Hsu does a great job of explaining in plain-English where the best Chinese investing opportunities are and what to avoid. I would highly recommend it to anyone serious about profiting from China's growth!
