Soros says China will make swift recovery
Shanghai Daily (China) ^ | June 8, 2009 | By Wang Yanlin

GEORGE Soros, the world-famous investor and currency speculator, said yesterday he believes China will be the first country to recover from the global financial crisis.

"China should play a constructive role in the reconstruction of the global economic system and have a bigger voice in it."

"China is a positive force when the world economic and political orders are in disarray and it will grow faster than most people expect," he said.

Soros said the world's economic system will be profoundly changed by the financial turmoil.

He expected "a new world" would be built once the global financial downturn is over but said so far he could not see signs of revival in the world economy.

"It is a super-bubble, caused by blind expansion of credit to entice consumers to spend more than they own. Nothing like this has happened since the Great Depression and the problem is deeply rooted in the financial system," said Soros, who supports reflexivity, a theory refuting the idea that the market is fundamentally self-correcting.

Soros has his money where his mouth is, no doubt.

Then guaranteed, 00000 will do nothing to spoil Soros’ investment.

He's prolly right. When you have folks that will work very hard for 3 or four bucks a day, you have nowhere to go but up.

So he funds the people that snub the US in every social and economical policy and says that China will be the leader in bringing us back? What a loon....

"It is a super-bubble, caused by blind expansion of credit to entice consumers to spend more than they own."

Point proven....

I have a cynical streak and have decided that investing in companies that are favored by the Administration and his butt boys are probably better than others.
When it was announced that Soros had bought about 10% of PXP..an oil co..I invested 10k and it has gone to 14k in less than a month.

Why is Soros still wasting oxygen? That guy’s perhaps the most anti-American individual in history. Geez, I wish he’d just have a massive medical problem and croak.

I was thinking just the opposite and really wanted to buy into Ford in March, when it was @ $2.00, but was not in a position to.

It is now @ $6.00+!

Haven’t they been telling us all along that China has AVOIDED this slowdown? That their economy is still going gang-busters while we wallow in recession?

WTF?

The responses to this thread is what keeps me on the FR. Why is Soros so vilified for merely making an economic prediction about China? Would the responses be different had he said China would be the last to recover?

China didn't get hooked into the subprime mortgage debacle and they have excess reserves to stimulate the economy is the primary reason for the prediction of recovery. It's very basic. So for that, Soros is seen as anti-American for observing what an undergraduate economics major could observe?
