Just look at this US listed school chain "New Oriental Education & Technology Group" (EDU), its share price is almost doubled since its listing in Sept 2006.<BR/><BR/>Corruption is daily life in China, if you want to do business in China you have to face it and learn how to deal with it.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the 1-child policy, personally I believe it will last at least long enough for investors like me to capture the potential. There is still a long long way to go before china becomes a capitalist country.Zhong Siwei 鍾思維https://www.blogger.com/profile/10798863330428238300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7228355782183071228.post-48129793839584333502007-02-27T05:37:00.000+08:002007-02-27T05:37:00.000+08:00Here is my thought.

However, I still think education is the superior play in this environment. Since china has no real welfare for its citizens, Chinese families must invest everything into their child, not only for the child's well-being but the parents because they will not have any social security when they grow old. Therefore, if you know of anyone starting an english learning school, or technical school this would be the superior investment. <BR/><BR/>Secondly, as the world becomes more globalized, your hands are worth less and less. Chinese public schools are pretty horrible at getting Chinese to think about anything, if you could develop a school which became reknowned for being able to produce useful, innovative workers the market will kiss your feet and make you rich.<BR/><BR/>I think it is also important to know, the one-child policy wont last. It makes sense under communism (reduce population to share finite resources) it does not make sense under capitalism when you need to maintain economic growth (producers and consumers). I think the saying will have to change from its better to plant trees than have children, to start getting busy!<BR/><BR/>NDU is the play. Based in Haidian, Beijing.
