Thanks for the reference to China Business Blog, and for your intersting site. I just wanted to make a response to the comment that we "herald" the 5-year plan. The main point I wanted to get across in my last post on the subject was not about the targets (which may be missed, manipulated, or even met) but about the change in attitude - i.e. it is a "guideline", not just another "plan". As for ("malicious")foreign funds in China, there are obviously some political challenges at present - but it is interesting to see that UBS just got approval for their control of Beijing Securities (I have posted a note on this on the blog today). I look forward to reading more of your news.

The combination of massive capital investement, low cost labor and a blossoming domestic consumer economy presents a rare opportunity to invest in a nation poised to become an economic superpower.

It doesn't have to become an economical superpower just be the best and/or first in this matter. That would make competition look a little more interesting don't you agree ?
