This guy nails it. It also IMO reveals how Wall Street views China...
#1. Middle Class in China=about $200 USD a month...
While thats nothing big for us... thats good for them... and corporations who sell $2 bottles of shampoo...
Making $ in China all depends on what you sell...and those products are limited...
There is a market in China, but people don't understand it at all... and generally they overstate the H#ll out of it...
It also depends on which 'multinationals' are there and in what form? Is your GE can opener made in China? How many of the made in China versions are actually sold in China?
There is a lot to say about that quote.
The middle class is the only hope for the whole country!
Generally speaking they have accepted commonly accepted international norms... AND THAT is why they are middle class! They don't want to kick some Taiwan @ss, they want to get some Taiwan $$$ and a job.
Its the communist @ss^%#@s and uneducated peasants that we need to worry about... half the time those are both one in the same...
