Two More Myths About Business in China

I don't understand. I have never had to go wait in line at 4am to see a doctor, whether it was at Beijing University Third Hospital, China Japan Friendship Hospital or Beijing United or any number of random hospitals I visited over the years here in Beijing. Wait in line sure, but never more than 30 minutes. I think I waited an hour once.

And you can get American quality health care in Beijing if you are willing to pay US prices. But even at public hospitals I've received decent service, though crowds were bigger and the wait longer. But a doctor visit was $1 USD.

Maybe you were trying to see a particular specialist? I've heard people wait a long time to see a particular doctor that has a reputation. But you can't conclude that he "couldn't get medical care." He could have gotten medical care in a lot of other places in Beijing.

While Financials Drag Markets Down, Five Ways to Stay in Play

China Trying to Break the Euro?

I think George Soros is full of $hit.

Tuesday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets

Royial, yes, that is exactly what Dave means, and he is not the only one who holds that opinion.

But, seems like to me, Dave has capitulated. He thinks the world has ended. Even an upturn is not gonna be a real upturn.

Hm.... and he is not the only one.
