Certainly, as compared with those early and heady days of the late 1980s and early 90s when greenfield site were sprouting like lychees throughout South China, and I was shrouded in optimism guzzling Tsing Tao stout in Shang Hai, the dependence on Taiwanese and US investment in the PRC is much less. Today, they overtly court the ASEAN overseas Chinese, the Euros, the CISers, and the wealthier quarters in the Islamic world. Therefore, it would seem that the counteracting effects of Taiwanese and US investment on PRC restraint are markedly less than they were even 10 years ago. Of this, we must make note.
Thank you so much for the ping!
