China - work in progress!

I recently visited China.

China’s activity level is amazing, glowing and parisionic to its size!

There is no doubt that China will take up the economic global leadership position in a near future, surpassing both Japan, as it has already, and the US.  In 1990, China’s contribution to the global GDP was 3%.  Within five years that number will be greater than that of the US, and be around 22%.

Do what you say and say what you do!

In the financial world the saying goes, "Buy on rumours, sell on facts!"

In the political world the saying goes, "Elect on promises, deselect on deliverables!"

President Obama and his democratic party was hit badly at the mid term election.  I believe though that
this is not a public expression of confidence in the republican party, bearing in mind that the President's
approval rate is higher than the approval rates of the Republican party and that of Congress.

No, it is something else. For me it is actually poor communication and a tactical political mistake to be too
centric. This combination is lethal when in dialogue with the voters.
