China City

When China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, it became a player in the global economy, and since then, China has grown about 9% annually -- more than four times the growth rate of the U.S.!

"Socialist" China is More Investor Friendly than the U.S.

Despite the great strides that China has undertaken to become an economic superpower, there are some investors who remain unsure if China is the 'real deal' because of the country's history of socialism and authoritarian government.

However, the Chinese system known as 'socialism with Chinese characteristics' has become more capitalistic than almost all other major economies. With no capital gains tax, property tax or tax on real estate investment gains, China is actually more investor and capital friendly than the U.S. more...

Domestic Consumption Remains Leading Driver of Economic Growth

China has surpassed Germany as the world's largest exporter -- and it looks like exports in China may be again rising after nine months of decreases.
