 Cracker wee book July 23, 2008
As the reviewer above, alludes, Mr Hsu operates an online subscription newsletter. One small niggle I have with the book is that it occasionally lapses into "advertorial" mode. Another grizzle is that the author takes a negative slant on the USA stockmarket. Examples given, of extended periods of low capital growth, do not include the dividend quotient. At those times dividend pay-outs were greater than today, and it is a tadge naughty to overlook them as a part of the total returns. But, aside from these points, this book is a mine of useful information for investors seeking an "emerging markets" exposure. Mr Hsu draws upon his personal life as a native of Taiwan, and presents, in an easily readable style, a brief history of China, and a progression to where the merger of capitalism and communism has brought China today. He gives excellent examples of stocks, mostly listed as ADRs on the NYSE, and their respective positive and/or negative attributes. At a cost of only $ 25, less than the brokerage fee on one share trade, this book represents stunning value. Bravo Mr Hsu.
 Great information June 5, 2008

I have read many other China investing books but I was particularly looking forward to this one mainly because I am a subscriber to Hsu's newsletters as well. I would say this is a good book for anyone interested in China and the opportunities it offers. As a subscriber I enjoyed the more detailed look at themes he merely touches on in his newsletters. Many of the topics he discusses in the book are not found in his other publications, so I was able to enjoy the new information.
