    • The US Treasury Gave $10bn (and Maybe More) to China [view article]
      I am not sure if the author has problem with bond holder, or China government.

      Every investor understand (or should) the risk and rewards of Fannie and Freddie's bond and stock. Some people bet government bail out, therefore chose to invest in Bond. Some people bet no government bail out, and chose to speculate in Stock. It was a fair game. Complaining the gain of bond owner is pathetic.

      If you don't have problem with Bond owner in general, but just have problem with China government because they are not american, then maybe you should ask your government to forfeit all corporate and treasure bonds owned by China government? They are the bad guy anyway, and default on the bad guy is always justified?

      Just as Silver leaf put it, "So much for morale hazzard"!!!       Sep 08 11:51 AM
    • Is China's Economy Slowing? [view article]
      James, as inflation runs up, the government will have to tighten the monetary policy. that will cool the real estate market. Exactly what has already been happening. The cooling will fuel the expectation of a further price drop, and further cool the market. I don't have the exact number, but a large portion of the real estate purchase is for investment/speculation purpose. These purchase will disappear. Jun 19 11:32 PM
    • China's Improved Living Standard Contributing to Global Economic Growth [view article]
      Windinmyface2, I applaud for your questioning the main street message in this country w.r.t the Chinese people and government. I only wish there are more American people like you!

      As a Chinese living here for the past 7 years, I was very pissed off by the biased, one sided Western media coverage on Tibet and Olympic recently. We, American and Chinese alike, all know the media in China are controlled and not completely trustworthy. The Western Media's reporting in the recent month on Tibet and Olympic proved that they are no much better. To find the truth and build an informed opinion, one really needs to think independently and look for facts presented by both sides. Watch these videos on Youtube and I think you will start to understand why 99.99% of 1.3B Chinese people, not only the government, are so pissed off by the recent events.

      Your point about American politician and Media depicting Chinese as a people living in dire communist's rule without any freedom, aspiring for Western's help to gain their human rights and freedom is also right on. This popular thinking is really driven by the Western's sense of Western superioricy and condesension. These people know nothing about what majority of Chinese people feel and think, but claim they are doing something good for them? claim they are only against the China government but helping the Chinese people? When they hear different voice, they say, "oh, these people are brainwashed". In fact, mostly likely they are brainwashed by the mainstreet media, because Chinese people know the China media is not completely trustable therefore look for the other side's story, not so for these feel good western free Tibet prosters, most of who don't even know where Tibet is.

    • When Will China Overtake the U.S. Economically? [view article]
      good analysis but the author seems to neglect two things

      1. the appreciation of the Chinese currency. the appreciate of local currency happened in all other asian countries when they underwent their rapid development. China will be no exception. plus, acknowledge it or know, the US is going to get out of its debt through depreciation of $. this generation in the US enjoyed the status and benefit earned by the previous generation but unfortunately will squander it and not pass that on to the next generation. it's quite a shame to me.

      2. although the working population in China will decline, but the educated working populaiton will continue to increase. The Chinese emphasize education much more than does the American. The improved education of China's workforce will likely more than offset the decline of the population.

      Overall, from a historical perspective, China was a leading force economically, politically and technologically. It only lagged behind the rest of the world starting from early 19th centuray. The Chinese are hard working, intelligent, and have a very strong focus on education. These qualities helped China to be a major power in the past, and are still there to help China regain its status.

      China surpassing the US economically is a natural thing given it's population size. And it's a good thing for the world. I see only political turmoil can stop China from becoming the biggest economy, if that happens, it's certainly not a good thing for Chinese, but it will not be a good thing for the rest of the world either.

    • My 2008 Predictions and Investment Plan, Part II - Emerging Markets, Gold and Ag [view article]
      nice article. Last year 100% of my portfolio is China, this year I will put 30% into Agriculture. China up, agriculture up, $ and US market down.

      I laugh at the conventional wisdom that international investment is risky. to me, continuing to invest majority of asset in $ and US market is the biggest risk.       Jan 10 08:51 PM
