"...top tips on investment strategy to exploit the "China miracle" of runaway growth..."Private Eye Thursday 7 August 2008

From the Inside Flap

China is on fire! In the course of barely a decade, China has become the world's fastest-growing economy and it is now the world's most important marketplace. China produces more steel, coal, clothing, and toys than any other country in the world, and exports to the U.S.alone have grown by more than 1,500% since the 1990s. These are the figures that everyone talks about. What they don't know is that the Chinese consumer is the real growth driver and has become singularly important to the global economy. Because of the incredible growth in China, there are 1.3 billion people who suddenly have the ability to create personal wealth. This new reality has created an unprecedented opportunity for global investors to grow their portfolios and build their fortunes.

As big investors scramble for their piece of theChina pie, however, individual investors are being fed misinformation and conflicting reports that could lead to disastrous investments. Investing in China is easier to navigate and much more profitable when you know what to look for—and China Fireworks will show you the way.

Author Robert Hsu has been making money for years by watching China's growth and identifying trends that deliver the greatest return for investors. As one of the leading experts on investing in China's economy, he advises people every day on how a China strategy will truly take them to a new level of investing.

With this book, Hsu shows you how to build your fortune by participating in what he calls the "China Miracle." Hsu begins by explaining the key differences between China's major economic and geographic regions, as well as Hong Kong, providing insight into how consumer spending habits differ and what that means for you when building an investment strategy in China. He then shows investors how to take advantage of China's economic boom by identifying companies that are:

• Providing the government of China with what it needs and the people of China with what they desire

• Improving their bottom lines by effectively utilizing China's manufacturing capabilities

• Excelling in the international marketplace thanks to the innovation of China's new class of entrepreneurs

Along the way, Hsu also details exactly how to find industries that are growing, pick industry leaders, make your buys, and sell for a profit.

With China Fireworks as your guide—along with some thoughtful research and common sense—you'll be well on your way to getting rich from the "China Miracle."

Customer Reviews

Cracker wee book
As the reviewer above, alludes, Mr Hsu operates an online subscription newsletter. One small niggle I have with the book is that it occasionally lapses into "advertorial" mode. Another grizzle is that the author takes a negative slant on the USA stockmarket. Examples given, of extended periods of low capital growth, do not include the dividend quotient. At those times dividend pay-outs were greater than today, and it is a tadge naughty to overlook them as a part of the total returns. But, aside from these points, this book is a mine of useful information for investors seeking an "emerging markets" exposure. Mr Hsu draws upon his personal life as a native of Taiwan, and presents, in an easily readable style, a brief history of China, and a progression to where the merger of capitalism and communism has brought China today. He gives excellent examples of stocks, mostly listed as ADRs on the NYSE, and their respective positive and/or negative attributes. At a cost of only $ 25, less than the brokerage fee on one share trade, this book represents stunning value. Bravo Mr Hsu.

Great information
I have read many other China investing books but I was particularly looking forward to this one mainly because I am a subscriber to Hsu's newsletters as well. I would say this is a good book for anyone interested in China and the opportunities it offers. As a subscriber I enjoyed the more detailed look at themes he merely touches on in his newsletters. Many of the topics he discusses in the book are not found in his other publications, so I was able to enjoy the new information.

I Finally Understand China Investing
Despite the fact that the Chinese stock market is down huge this year, everyone I know still believes that huge fortunes will be made investing in China over the next several years. Hsu does a great job of explaining in plain-English where the best Chinese investing opportunities are and what to avoid. I would highly recommend it to anyone serious about profiting from China's growth!
