Then we agree. Always keep in mind that places like China are at a stage of development where demand will grow to meet emergent needs of urbanization and industrialization. There are officially 172 cities in China with a population over 1 million. The "average" is around 3 million per city. This is a crude measure, but it makes a point. The "secondary" cities of China are set to take off in coming years AS A MARKET. These markets are young and still wet -- no doubt about it. But they are real and they dwarf markets anywhere else in the world in their growth potential.
