From The Chicago Tribune (link):
Investing in China is just as difficult as trying to fathom the many complexities of that nation in transition.
Its government is actively issuing tougher standards for securities, accounting and corporate conduct. Yet it remains deeply enmeshed in free speech, privacy and trade controversies.
Many view China as a golden goose, but no one’s certain who’ll wind up with the golden eggs. The common investment logic is that a nation so big, vibrant and seemingly headed down the road to free enterprise just can’t be overlooked.
