ETFs have been given a large vote of confidence as during the downturn, the Government stepped in to provide $580 million stimulus package, even though people lost jobs, it is now clear that the package worked out. The US and China's economy are linked, like it or not China has been the one of the largest buyers of US debt. Despite various financial controversies, especially the ones surrounding China's accounting practices, it is emerging as a global force.
China has continued to look beyond its own shores for investment opportunities. Although now, the country's appetite is more in developing its own economy.

It does suffer though through energy poverty, road and rail systems that are inadequate and communication systems that are way undeveloped. Its workforce and attitude of its people is flexible, accepting the need for progress. The labor force is comparatively cheap to employ and also flexible.

The Chinese household is thrifty making it a country of low debt and high savings. Watch this Dragon fly.
