What does that say about the future of China?

The execs are selling?

The rats fleeing the ship?

I think it is too early to tell. The number of Chinese "fleeing" still makes up a very, very small percentage of the country. Also, most Chinese people (from mainland China) I see here in the US still have very strong ties, both emotional and financial, to their homeland (naturally). I think it is a myth that the Chinese all want to leave China. After all, it is getting better day by day, while this place is getting worse...

I didn't mean fleeing China as a home nation.
I meant that they obviously don't think their money can be invested safely in China.

This shouldn't be the case with 7.5% growth in China and 2.5% here.
But apparently that's what they think of the future.

Heraclitusstudent says

I meant that they obviously don't think their money can be invested safely in China.

Well, there was that Bain survey which suggested that a lot of the high net worth individuals want to diversify their holdings a bit outside of China. Their concern was wealth *preservation* as opposed to wealth creation.

That survey apparently also suggested that a large number of these individuals were considering emigrating, but it was quite vague as to what "planning" or "considering" really means. I'm considering a lot of things, but that doesn't mean I'm likely to do them all.

In any case, there isn't that much evidence that a large number of people have fled, as Han said.

The definition of HNWI was $1.6 million (10 million RMB), which isn't really that much money on the low end -- certainly not enough for the legendary "all-cash" non-sense that the realtors claim unless you are investing a ridiculously large percentage of your portfolio that way. Why be a piker here, when you could be a robber baron there?

Hey Bigsby, you said before that there was no New World Order. Hagel says there is. Just another lie on your ledger.

Good grief. He isn't arguing that there is a 'New World Order' the way you mean it you plum.

Yes he is. He is saying that the neocons took the defense department and made it an independent department. Those neocons are connected to the New World Order as much as are the ones who bankrolled it, the Rothschilds and Rockefellers and Warburgs.

If you don't think so, look at the reward Dick Cheney and Rupert Murdoch got with their opportunity with Genie Energy. Look it up you corrupt soul.

At least you managed to avoid writing the word zionist. Just.

They told us they aren't spying on us either, next thing we found out about NSA the hard way. I' just saying, don't trust this government too much. They aren't interested in educated public, they are only interested in their own power and expanding it wherever and whenever possible.

It's not an issue of trusting them over this. You can use your eyes and brain and draw a conclusion from the information available to you. So do YOU believe those 3 buildings were brought down by demolition, that Sandy Hook and the Boston bombings were hoaxes...?

I am waiting. Prove you are not a Zionist when every position to support is the Zionist agenda.

So let me get this straight, believing that the WTC buildings were not brought down by demolition and that Sandy Hook and the Boston bombing were not hoaxes makes someone a zionist. Is that what you are saying? The fact that I believe that the Israelis should abide by the UN resolutions over Palestine means what exactly?

Call it Crazy says

Hmmm... Gold at $1,366. right now.... What's up with that???

Such a barbarous relic. Pays no dividends.

1. What do the UN resolutions say?
2. I couldn't care less what the Rothschilds did or did not do.
3. I believe in the right of the people of every sovereign nation to decide their own destiny.
4. The Jewish state already exists. If the Palestinians want the possibility of any kind of peaceful settlement, then, yes, they will have to accept the existence of Israel.

bgamall4 says

4. It is not a Jewish state. But let's explore that one Bigsby, because this is where you fail the most in denying you are a Zionist.

Is the Jewish state based on race? If it is, it is an apartheid state and cannot be supported anymore than South Africa can be supported. Two wrongs don't make a right. If you were discriminated against, even killed as a race doesn't make it right for you to be a nation based on one race.

Is it a Jewish state based upon religion? No, the father of Israel, David Ben-Gurion, was an avowed atheist.

So, what is the possibly definition of the Jewish state and why would anyone want to recognize that Israel is the Jewish state? Seriously, Bigsby.

What? Jewish state/Israel call it whatever the hell you want - the Jewish state was the bloody terminology you used. That country exists. What the hell has your above nonsense got to do with your question? If the Palestinians want peace with Israel, which was what your question was about (though it now seems to have been a pathetically childish attempt at a gotcha), then they will need to accept its existence. What part of that do you think makes me a zionist?

bgamall4 says

2. You need to care that the Rothschilds and big finance, including the Russian oligarchs, are funneling massive amounts of money towards Israel.

No, I don't need to care about your convoluted zionist conspiracy nonsense.

bgamall4 says

Maybe on number 1 but it sounds like you accept that the occupation is unlawful.

Sounds like? Of course I think the occupation of the West Bank is unlawful.

Bigsby says

I remember on history channel there was a special about CIA few years back. And one of the "never executed" missions that was exposed, was flying a plane into a civilian building to promote and start a war with soviets. That made me very aware that our government is certainly has no problems killing their own citizens if they can get into a war they want.

And I'm well aware that if they want to conceal something, they'll do it very well. Our government doesn't half ass their schemes.

Bigsby says

2. I couldn't care less what the Rothschilds did or did not do.

They cost you a lot of money every year, indirect economic rent you pay for in every transaction. You should care.

Not true, why is that different from all the other shootings?

bgamall4 says

No crime scene, dedacted. Children not hearing the 140 assault rifle shots in the police report, upon being interviewed. None of them heard any of that. Actors, obvious actors faking being parents. One guy is older than his picture with his son. Turns out his son was in a yearbook years ago with Adam Lanza, the same age! A picture of one of the 26 children was not one of the 26. It was a totally different little girl. No recorded tears on the day of the event by parents. All dry eyed crying. Police stormed the wrong school, which was down the street.

It is all a pack of lies.

Nope there are just way too many of these incidents.

Well if you don't buy it, somebody else will.

You pay a tax to the banksters on everything you buy, from gasoline, to food to anything with commodities in them. All the commodity markets are cornered. All of them. Except onions, which is banned from futures trading. By a Republican, Dwight Eisenhower.

Oh right, so 'Rothschilds' is a catch all for anything to do with trading.

Out of interest, how does the percentage of people's disposable income spent on food compare with previous decades?

You think Sandy Hook was a hoax? Perhaps you and Gary can have a joint package trip to Newtown and question those concerned. Mind, that's an awful lot of people to interview. Mothers, fathers, children, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, friends, neighbours, work colleagues, teachers, emergency services, the world's media... Damn, that's a lot of people. Out of all those people directly affected, how many have come forward to say that it was a hoax?

bgamall4 says

You don't even read the news. Israel is accepted by the Palestinians, but the term Jewish State, which Netanyahu requires, is not. And the idiot wants to terminate the deal because of that. He is such a pig.

Israel is accepted by the Palestinians? Really? Perhaps you need to tell that to Hamas.

bgamall4 says

Children not hearing the 140 assault rifle shots in the police report, upon being interviewed.

Oh right, so you expect very young children to say they heard a 150 odd gunshots. I take it they were supposed to count them. Is that right? There are plenty of descriptions from kids who clearly state (in their own way) that they heard multiple gun shots.

bgamall4 says

Actors, obvious actors faking being parents.

Obvious only to you and your fellow conspiracy nuts. How many family/friends/work colleagues have come forward to say that all those people directly involved were actors? Come on, how many? Or do you think all these people were beamed down from Mars after never previously having any interaction with other human beings?

bgamall4 says

?

Er, you mean you posted up a picture of a yearbook where somebody had the same name.

bgamall4 says

A baseless assertion.

bgamall4 says

Police stormed the wrong school, which was down the street.

And why would they do that except as a consequence of the confusion of the day/a report of gunmen/securing nearby schools? You are claiming this happened as part of the largest hoax to have ever been carried out in human history. You think this is proof of a hoax, whereas in reality, it indicates the exact opposite. It is exactly the sort of thing they DIDN'T need to do in your hoax fantasy.

Bush & the Republicans :

"Oh wow,Iraq has WMD."

bgamall4 says

Oh, there are scenes with fake red paint blood, like the Boston Bombing. But trying to figure out that maize is above my pay grade. I still think it was a hoax, but I don't have the energy to figure it all out. If it was a hoax it is a disgusting pig of a government that we have.

On the other hand, at Sandy Hook, there were so many obvious blunders that it is easy for me to say with certainty that it is a hoax.

And Columbine, Aurora, and the many many others? Bullshit

9/11 gives me pause only because it fits the pattern of instigated war so perfectly. On the other hand these instigations in the past were easily seen. It is akin to the people who say the moon landing was faked. Just too many people involved, there is no way.

I noticed that the Bermuda Triangle is on the opposite side of the earth from where the plane disappeared.

So maybe they should be searching near Bermuda.

Yes I understand. According to the NAR foreign buyers are always "about" to flood the market "soon". It's always a great time to buy.
