I would not be too quick to underestimate the Chinese. The dynamics of their economic and financial situation is very different from ours.

hello snowshoe, i am in jakarta for the week, in telecom-challenged and cyber-expensive geography (50 mbs cellular modem runs usd 1500 per month, vs hkg cellular modem at usd 80 per month) of same rating. mission is to meet w/ parties interested in australian gold mining. on urbanization / real estate pricing, there is an on-going debate amongst the boyz re relative speculation merits of nyc vs hkg vs shanghai, and for me, the big cogent points are simple, that (1) middle class is growing in shanghai (as opposed to nyc) (2) population is growing in hong kong (as opposed to nyc) (3) both china and hong kong authorities are in real estate suppression mode (as opposed to usa trying to re-flate the titanic) (4) suppression/reflation always fail, eventually cheers, jay
