China is growing fast and this is only the beginning! The question for us the average person is: Is it time to invest in China and Japan? Japan has been in Kondratieff Winter for a long time now and one wonders how soon the spring will come.
China continues to invest billions of dollars in countries in Africa and southwest Asia that we view as having too many problems. Where we see problems, however, China sees opportunity, and these investments in construction and natural resources are already generating enormous profits. Meanwhile, we're throwing billions of dollars into supporting and maintaining the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. And what do we get back from this Sisyphean effort? Body bags and an ever weaker economy. They will overtake us before you can say "Superpower."
China's one child policy caused the demographics to be less favorable for growth compared to India whose population is exploding unchecked. So, the questions is how will China's stock market be effected? How soon will the current slump stop? While boomers will be selling American stocks, it may be wise to invest in Asia to grab a portion of their growth:

China is doing what United States has done when the World War started. US invested in it's production capacity and became the largest Industrial producer. We produced what the World wanted and we exported it. And we got rich. American market size helped with economics of scale. Now it is China's turn to do the same. As always, the questions is whether the growth is already priced in or not.
