The action may switch back to Shanghai from Hong Kong in the new year according to some analysts at least in terms of raising funds on the stock market. It is estimated that 380 billion Yuan or over $55 billion US dollars in capital may be raised on the Shanghai Securities Exchange in 2010.

Seven of the top 10 IPOs in 2009 were China shares (see chart).

Why They Hate China


A must read from Justin Raimondo of Anti-War.com on the moral righteousness of the "Free Tibet" and "Save Darfur" crowd.

Some salient grafs:

After all, what if Chinese government leaders constantly reminded the world that the American Southwest was stolen from Mexico? Imagine the Chinese and Mexican ambassadors to the U.S. demanding independence, for, say, California – or better yet, its return to Mexican sovereignty! Shall the Olympics be forever barred from Puerto Rico, which was forcibly incorporated into the U.S. "commonwealth" in the invasion of 1898?

. . . . .

In short, the popular narrative of the pacifistic Buddhist Tibetans as the good guys and the Han Chinese as the bad-guy aggressors is the stuff of pure myth, pushed by union propagandists, lefty Hollywood do-gooders, and trendy sandal-wearing Western camp followers of the Dalai Lama, who has become a secularized yet "spiritual" substitute for Mother Theresa.

READ IT!
