In this current economic crisis, there won't be decoupling. Decoupling may come later as a result of the current crisis. However, it is not available now to save those lost souls who are looking for another asset bubble to gorge on.
I think Jim Rogers is wrong on China.

The power of the Communist Party depends on the Party members being loyal to the Party, and working hard to maintain Party control over the country. This is incompatible with a free market system.
In a free market system, you have business owners who have the money to buy loyalty to themselves from the low-level Party members.

the way i understand it is, thousands(maybe most???) of towns in China are built like old time US towns, ONE company/factory towns, and today when that sector of the world market goes down, there goes their ONE company/factory and hence there goes their town too... yes???
