Overview
The best-selling author of Hot Commodities and Adventure Capitalist looks at the vast investment opportunities available in the emerging Chinese economy and the country's growing openness to foreign investors, offering tips on how to take advantage of the situation and what, where, how, and when to buy. Reprint. 30,000 first printing.
Publishers Description
If the twentieth century was the American century, then the twenty-first century belongs to China. According to the one and only Jim Rogers, who's been tracking the Chinese economy since he first went to China in 1984, any investor can get in on the ground floor of “the greatest economic boom since England's Industrial Revolution.” But the time to act is now.
In A Bull in China, you'll learn which industries offer the newest and best opportunities, from power, energy, and agriculture to tourism, water, and infrastructure. Rogers demystifies the state policies that are driving earnings and innovation, takes the intimidation factor out of the A-shares, B-shares, and ADRs of Chinese offerings, and profiles “Red Chip” companies, such as Yantai Changyu, China's largest winemaker, which sells a “Healthy Liquor” line mixed with herbal medicines. Plus, if you want to export something to China yourself–or even buy land there–Rogers tells you the steps you need to take.
No other book–and no other author–can better help you benefit from the new Chinese revolution. Jim Rogers shows you how to make the “amazing energy, potential, and entrepreneurial spirit of a billion people” work for you.
“The smartest ways to invest in the world's fastest-growing economy.”
–The New York Sun
“[Jim Rogers] presents the case that this truly is going to be China's century and that anyone who doesn't take advantage may be taking a big risk.”
–The Boston Globe
“Rogers races through the promising and profitable business opportunities China has to offer–in a manner and prose far superior to any other current financial guru-writer's.”
–Booklist

 | Industry analysis of Chinese stocks Jan 19, 2010 |
I finished this book within one week. Pretty interesting and readable book. As always Rogers explained the truth in plain English with his acumen eyes. He knows more about China than me although I was born and grew up in China.
However this book provides a watch list instead of hot stock list. | | |  | TEXT-TO-SPEECH DISABLED = NO SALE Aug 24, 2009 |
| I enjoyed reading the first few pages of the sample on my Kindle and was about to purchase the book, then discovered (when I tried to play it in my car while driving) that TEXT-TO-SPEECH HAS BEEN DISABLED for this Kindle book. I would have given Mr. Rogers a few more dollars to add to his fortune, but TEXT-TO-SPEECH DISABLED = NO SALE. | | |  | Heres where you start Jul 29, 2009 |
If ever you want to get started in investing this is the book for you.Jim gets straight to the point and draws on his wealth of knowledge and experience of travel to hit home the fundamentals you need when investing.
It certaninly opened my eyes to the potential in china.

It might sound redundant but it's worth saying again. When Jim rogers writes I read him and when he speaks I listen to him.
"A Bull in China" is pretty appropriate for today. And honestly, the concept of "A Bear in America" is equally appropriate.
As China is keeping the Renminbi cheap it also fueled a housing & property bubble in China's leading economic cities of Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. Rogers notes that the price of an average apartment in Beijing in 2006 was 13 times the annual average salary of its local residents.
With cheap money, be it cheap for real reasons, or artificially cheap, people have to park their money somewhere. Hence, the bubble(s).
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Infrastructure is the big plus for China. Planning well and building fast. This is critical for foreign companies located in China to move product by road to ports.
Rogers travelled throughout China in the late 1980s and in 1988 China didn't have one single expressway. China has since built expressways based on German, American, and Japanese models. At the end of 2006, eighteen years after Rogers 1988 visit with none, China had 28,210 miles of expressways (p. 105).

Appendix
Index
Rogers lists specific companies and profiles them in several different industries. This info is only a couple of years old, but these companies will have to be re-evaluated by any reader that has the interest in doing so.
Worth noting is that while China is and will be the economic power-house of the future it's a controlled society that is afraid of Google and YouTube. Eroding Communist ideology mixed with the currently growing Authoritarian Capitalism in practice, no sense of morality, and rampant greed. Similar to the USA, but with a different form of eclecticism.
Roger's focus is on the economic-sphere. A comprehensive book with lots of details. This is a book for those who want specific information on specific investing.
