I fully agree with you.

China will soon be the mkt leader, frankly. do u follow a begger or a King, logically.

They are now the world's richest country n "money talks", just see the exceptionally excellent treatment their leaders get from all the world's leaders.

Gradually, they will be the world's biggest consumers with the younger generation tat never experience hardship, with their new-found wealth, dun know wat is thrift, history keeps evolving, wealth n poverty goes in cycle, US from wealthy to poor now but will learn from hardship, to be thrifty again while China from poor to wealthy n the younger generation tat never experience hardship, with their new-found wealth, willing to spend , stimulate the whole world economy.

It is a matter of time n now could be tat time, S chips will roar again after all this corporate governance issue is tightened.

July 1 (Bloomberg) -- China’s manufacturing expanded for a fourth month as a 4 trillion yuan ($585 billion) stimulus plan and record bank lending revive the world’s third-largest economy.

The official Purchasing Managers’ Index rose to a seasonally adjusted 53.2 in June from 53.1 in May, the Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said today in Beijing in an e-mailed statement. A reading above 50 indicates an expansion.

The Shanghai Composite Index rose above 3000 points for the first time in a year, copper gained and the yen fell as the report added to signs that the global economy may be over the worst of its slump.
