Chinese shares to ‘become 20% of portfolios’

China’s $6tn onshore A-shares market is just two to three years away from being included in the major emerging market indices, Mark Makepeace, chief executive of the FTSE Group, has said.

China’s inclusion in global benchmarks would probably herald a huge inflow of capital, as most institutional investors currently have little exposure to the world’s largest emerging market.

“It is without doubt the single most important financial event in the next decade,” said Jan Dehn, head of research at Ashmore Investment Management, a $61bn emerging markets house.

RT drinks the Chinese bathwater more and more everyday. I guess the Ruskies feel they have to do something more to ingratiate themselves with the Chinese since basically all Russia is going to be soon is China's gas station. I was reading an article the other day that made a convincing case that, within the next decade or two, Russia will probably have to import most of its technology (and possibly even military equipment) from China instead of the traditional vice versa.

Couldn't read the article without paying. But I still don't trust the Chinese finances, or any under communist control. People think it is easy for our government to change numbers over here. It is even easier for them. Government and corporations being more intwined offers quick rises, cover up for small bumps but really quick downfalls. China just needs to find its next mega project, I don't know economics enough to say if this would change anything, but again I think it stresses their capitalistic communism model.

continuing on the subject of island building, technically the man made islands won't count under international law, and raises some interesting issues. basically when China builds in somebodies else's water, that country then has a write to claim that land.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), to which China and all of the South China Sea claimant states are party, draws a sharp distinction between naturally formed and artificial islands.

UNCLOS is explicit in stating that man-made structures do not possess the status of islands, have no territorial waters of their own and their presence does not impact on the delimitation of maritime boundaries.

Beijing has assured the U.S. that its reclamation efforts will not threaten freedom of navigation and overflight in the South China Sea. And it has suggested that other countries, including the U.S., might be able to use its new facilities "when conditions are ripe."

The other claimant states are unlikely to take up this offer, since to do so would imply that they recognize China's right to build such facilities and thus its sovereignty claims.

China not keeping its word, as evidenced in the previous article i linked. China is building a paper thin case in the international law world, when this comes to a head if they want to keep it, and building new islands suggests that it does want to keep its claims, it will have to resort to force. which really puts China in a bad situation as we have military ties with the Philippines another key claimant in the area.

China has also been performing naval procedures with Russia in the Mediterranean Sea.

Don't know if that's pertinent or not.

Carly Fiorina: The Chinese “Can’t Innovate, Not Terribly Imaginative, Not Entrepreneurial”

Even if true, what does this have to do with the merits of Common Core?

Proponents of Common Core argue that we must compete with the Chinese in subjects like math and science. I agree that we must compete, but we will not win by becoming more centralized and standardized in our education methods. Although the Chinese are a gifted people, innovation and entrepreneurship are not their strong suits. Their society, as well as their educational system, is too homogenized and controlled to encourage imagination and risk taking.

She's saying CC is centralized and oppresses innovation.

I disagree, but I can understand the platform she's basing her argument on.
