Soros: It's Up To China

From yesterday's FT, George Soros arguing that China holds the keys: Only China is in a position to initiate a process of international cooperation because it can offer the enticement of renminbi appreciation. China has already developed an elaborate mechanism for consensus building at home. Now it must go a step further and engage in consensus building internationally. This would be rewarded by the rest of the world accepting the rise of China.

Whether it realises it or not, China has emerged as a leader of the world. If it fails to live up to the responsibilities of leadership, the global currency system is liable to break down and take the global economy with it. Either way, the Chinese trade surplus is bound to shrink but it would be much better for China if that happened as a result of rising living standards rather than a global economic decline.

Your suggestion are welcome.[/quote:3l3e911r] I'd begin by first visiting China and living there for a while to determine if there are any niche markets that aren't being served. You can only do so much research online. At the end of the day, there's nothing that beats first hand experience and talking directly to some of your future customers.
