| Summary |
China operates as the planet's second largest economy and its fastest growing economic superpower. "Betting on China" suggests a new prism through which to view China's rise, present-day workings, and future prospects in the global economy: stocks; more specifically: the stocks of China-operating companies that are listed on the major U.S. stock markets of NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange. It is through the mechanics of the bets placed on Chinese companies in these equity exchanges-the largest and most liquid in the world and open to investors across the planet-that real insight into the workings of China and of its economy are generated and played out in real time. |
