Chinese Economy May Be Heading into an Iceberg

"Indeed, at Trading Economics, we think the unprecedented rebound in the Chinese stock market has been to some extent engineered by the Chinese government and not propelled by a positive change in real economic fundamentals."

---- I would like to explain the Chinese stock market in another way. Neither government manipulations nor a positive economy signal. The industry funds give up their factories due to weak demand from overseas. These funds went to coal mines in 2H08 and then transferred from coal mines to the stock market in 1H09. Now they move from the stock market to porperties. The index boom has nothing to do with economy. The Chinese stock market is merely a way for capital to make money in the weak time - just like the oil price in developed countries.

Hard Times in Hong Kong?

Mr. Carl T. Delfeld:

I'd like to give you the Tibet history lesson for free.

Tibet was independent, ---- but only before A. D. 1244.
In A.D. 1244, Tibet surrendered themselves to Genghis Khan's son and Yuan Dynasty.
Throughout Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Tsing Dynasty, Republic of China, and People's Republic of China,
The Tibet area belongs to China.

The only thing, which implied that Tibet was relatively independent,
was that Tibet maintained the slavery system until the Republic of China period. When the communist party wanted to abolish the slavery, nobles rebelled. Similar to the situation of the American Civil War.

How do you think about the Confederated States of America?

Hard Times in Hong Kong?

Advocates of democracy? Where are they before 1997, when there was no election in Hong Kong at all. ---- Then it is easy to understand who is their sponsor. Hong Kong people need real democracy advocates on behalf Hong Kong citizens, but not Washington.

If you want to comment polictics, please turn to another forum.
But before doing that, I suggests you read the Hong Kong history first.

Have you ever commented the democracy situation in Hong Kong before 1997?

Tibetan Unrest and Economic Implications: 'Nancy Pelosi's War'

I think most Chinese in rich provinces agree the independence of Tibet, but dare not to speak out. The central government takes money from provinces along side the sea, and injects money into poor Tibet simultaneously. But Tibetans will never say 'thank you'.

Tibetans can get extra 8 points in China university entry exams (like SAT in US), but a gap of one or two points have been ruining many Han Chinese. Suicides for exam failure are not news (though rarely reported).

Economically, Tibet is a burden.
If they want independence, get out and get away.
