>Our government's positive noises will be ignored by investors. Gottfried, Not only that, investors might even overrate China as an Asian economic power. According to the Oct. 24, 1997 issue of Investor's Business Daily, page A1, in an article titled: "China: So What Is The Big Deal?", by Adrienne Fox... - - "China is...a closed market." - - "There's not much of a consumer market in China." - - "China's market isn't all that great." - - "Selling goods to China is hard to do." - - "U.S. firms are... finding...too much red tape and too few sales." - - "China's people...are extremely poor. They're not buying much of anything." - - "The average yearly per-capita income for the rural population is $232." - - "Urban incomes are only about $527 a year." - - "Belgians buy more goods from us than the Chinese do."
