China Stocks May Be The Best Buy
China is a rapidly expanding economy that has weathered the current economic recession reasonably well. Options for investing in China are numerous but as a foreigner the markets and the culture are likely to be completely unknown. So where to start to find stocks to invest in?
The government will not allow a national company to be bought out by foreign investors and setting up your own company can be difficult. Instead joint-venture operations with a Chinese company are the only way to access the enormous market. But these deals are not without their own risks as a number of overseas investors found out last year with a baby formula tainting scandal that brought down a number of large investors.
Another option is to invest directly in Chinese companies. With a growing level of consumerism and the largest domestic population in the world opportunities for growth abound. Areas that are seeing enormous growth are wireless telecoms and construction. While this is an investment area you need to keep in mind there are a number of restrictions on foreigners purchasing Chinese shares.
Private Equity funding works but some private equity firms have chosen to avoid China. They have found that having to rely on local partners has meant they have not had the information they require or in the time frames they would like.
Property is booming in China. Growth rates simply have not stopped and construction can be seen everywhere. Many investors have focused on Beijing and Shanghai, the two main cities, but when there are other cities in China with populations of over 20 million each there are no shortage of opportunities. A continuing trend of rural drift to the cities is supporting the need to accommodation.
However you decide to invest in China it must be remembered it is not an entirely free market. While growth and consumer demand are increasing the level of power the Chinese government has not disappeared. - 23221
