....for the long term?
I heard over and over again, it's impossible to purchase their currency
(via bonds), called the yuans, since it's not allowed to float. At
best, an American can only purchase a few hundred dollars or so.
On the other hand, why not purchase nice Chinese stocks? Is it
impossible to purchase their stocks, or are their publicly traded
stocks lousy? I've read that the stocks on their main exchange
represent very poor, government-owned companies that make basic
materials like concrete. |

Just IMO - the best way is to invest is in other countries that do biggie
sales to em, or for that matter US companies that are expanding in China. I
believe ishares in say S.Korea or Japan would be a good bet. It is my
impression that one cannot depend on China's individual company's reports -
this also equates to their ADR's.

The Chinese stock markets (meaning A and B shares traded on the
Shenzhen and Shanghai exchanges) seem to be in a permanent funk. Try
the "red chips" traded on the Hong Kong stock exchange, after doing a
lot of homework, of course. |

Corruption is just an aspect of humans in power, and can be found in any
culture, as has been recently seen in both the US and Canada. Some cultures
are just more clever at concealing it. |
