FDI and Investment Zones: Part VI - Nanjing 2007-08-30 19:41:10 For the last several years Nanjing followed Shanghai more closely than any of the other surrounding cities. While not experiencing the same level of growth and capital appreciation, Nanjing has definitely benefited by its proximity to Shanghai. International and Chinese developers alike have properties in Nanjing (see the first map in the Appendix). It is not only foreign companies that are moving to the city. With the lower prices of land and labor, many local companies and developers are moving to Nanjing Nanjing High- and New- Technology Industrial Development Zone Founded by Jiangsu Provincial People’s Government and Nanjing Municipal People’s Government, this zone was ratified as a national new- and high-tech industry development zone by the State Council on March 6, 1991. Here organizations specialize in electronics & information, bioengineering & pharmaceuticals, and aeronautics & astronautics. To date the zone has attracted over 1000 compa ...

Will US-China relations weather an economic storm? 2007-08-30 16:17:52 We used to say that when the US economy sneezed, other countries caught cold. Or something like that. You know what I mean.

Beijing Plays The Blame Game With Mattel 2007-08-30 03:14:56 Beijing has come out fighting with regard to the massive recall of Mattel toys. The South China Morning Post reports on claims that the recall “was largely a result of its own faulty designs and not mainland production”. Those who have been attacking China for low-quality and dangerous product exports will be usefully reminded that over 60 percent of China’s exports are by foreign companies operating there and that, while there have been cases of straight-forward criminality and supplier fraud (something not unique to China), both local and foreign companies work together on a range of design and production issues. It is too simplistic to blame “made in China” for any and all problems that come from China-made products – and it does not help solve the problem. The Chinese government is taking steps to improve regulations and enforcement locally, but buyers and manufacturers also need to ensure that their design, sourcing, due diligence, and testing processes are robust, a ...

Tianjin Move Boosts Hong Kong Market 2007-08-30 03:14:55 The stock markets in mainland China and Hong Kong have continued their frenzy, even as international markets have suffered falls in recent weeks. On Monday the South China Morning Post reported that the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong hit a record (23,577) on news that mainlanders would be able to invest directly into the market. H-Shares of mainland companies listed in Hong Kong (which usually trade at a discount to their mainland-traded stocks) saw gains of 6.16 percent in the day – and were up 27.15 percent from August 17. The mainland money is to be channelled via an initial scheme at Bank of China in Tianjin. Some 40 other cities, including Shanghai, are set to follow. Given the amount of savings looking for a place to invest, and the continuing bubble in the mainland market, access to overseas markets could prove popular, and could also take some heat out of local stocks. However it was also reported that final authorisation for the scheme had not been received by Monday, and t ...

HSI: Hong Kong Skyline Index 2007-08-30 03:14:54 I have been in Hong Kong for the past couple of days and, between stock market peaks, I was interested to view the Central skyline from the vantage point of the Star Ferry’s unglamorous, but iconic, upper deck. In addition to the many (relatively) new buildings, such as the giant International Finance Centre, a more subtle development seems to be taking place on the rooftops - a very unscientific visual check identified three mainland consumer brands among the usual neon names – Gome, Haier, and TCL. My own Hong Kong Skyline Index of mainland brands may not yet have reached the heights of the Hang Seng Index, I suspect that more mainland brands will be outbidding their long-established foreign rivals for Hong Kong’s real estate roofs in the near future.

Why Investors May Stay at Home 2007-08-29 21:44:11 Beijing is encouraging its citizens, for the first time, to put some of their money directly into offshore stocks and bonds.
