Investors looking elsewhere Overseas investors have been put off stocks in China by the lack of information and reporting standards in China. They have favored similarly speculative markets in Turkey and Pakistan. If they do invest in China, they have easier access through Hong Kong's H share and red-chip stocks. Those stocks, listed in Hong Kong but doing most of their business in China, are off-limits to Chinese investors. But China's markets will continue to storm away on their own, unlike the rest of the world, pumped by local investors.
China has domestic demand that is pumping away quite nicely.
