Here is the Virtual China 50, which is compiled by vitualchina.com to show promising investments in China.
One of my favorite "..green.." stocks, TXMC, just got added to the list; they manufacture cryogenic scrap tire recycling equipment. I strongly recommend a position in Tirex, which has just successfully completed it's testing and tuning of the first operational system.

I'm currently of the opinion that TXMC will kick LGOV's arse in getting to $2.00; because TXMC has never had the advantages of:
