| Pete, you might want to read the analyses from Goldman Sachs and PricewaterhouseCoopers that deal with development of China (& India etc.). Basically, China's development will slow down in the long run (on a 40-year span), but it's shouldn't really be a concern right now. For your current investment, things like your existing experience with China, or existing government support structure/procedures there (all adding to a more secure investment for you) weight much more, I guess...
