Following over 20 years of minimal to no growth, the Chinese economy is finally reaching the potential predicted by many financial analysts in the mid nineteen eighties.
As a result, many Hedge Fund managers and portfolio stock companies are looking to the East and for ways to invest in China.
Growth has been most noticeable in several key areas.
Most noticeably for the early protagonists that chose to invest in China, is in clothing.
Always a sound investment, consumers in the western world are both in need of, and in desire of clothes; male and female alike.
Computers too are popular and, to a lesser degree, furniture.
Another area where investment has been huge, and returns generous, is throughout the toy industry.
An industry that never seems to suffer particularly hard no matter the worldwide financial situation; toys can be produced cheaply, effectively and sold for huge profits in western malls and shopping districts.
Whilst the boat has not quite sailed for new investors to these industries, those looking for their first opportunity to invest in China have many more options.
And these may prove even more profitable than their predecessors.
For example, China is the second consumer of oil, and the biggest consumer of coal.
In their railways too; where investment has always been high, further adventurous plans are ongoing.
With many contracts being passed to private western contractors, this is certainly a new opportunity to watch with interest.
Before rushing out to Beijing to invest in China however, do be warned.
Resilience, determination and a sense of bravery will be called for as the Chinese economy, (as with any other fledgling market), can be volatile and prove unsteady; particularly as the world continues to ride the global recession.
