China: How Much Risk Are You Willing to Accept?

As the world continues to face huge hardships in economic growth, many companies are looking toward China as the 'promised land' for future global demand. My simple question to all capitalists is this: how much risk are you willing to bear?

The Chinese government can, at anytime, seize your assets and call it even. Why would the CCP do this? Why not? Who is going to stop them? Think about how China was closed off the West for so long. And think again about how China could do it again? Perhaps, the 5-year plan for the government is to suck in as much capital and natural resources over the next five years and then, BOOM. The great wall goes back up and all foreigners are locked out again.

I, for one, would not be willing to risk one dollar of capital in China. There are so many growth opportunities in the world and I would rather put capital to work elsewhere. In my opinion, China will be ready in about 25 years.

I hate to pop the bubble of fantasy thinking but I it is time for Western capitalists to wake up and understand what is truly happening in Asia.
