I&#x27;m sorry, but your analogy is pretty far off the mark.<p>&gt; China won&#x27;t be able to get any FDI for a a long time. Economic depression<p>China has been a net exporter of FDI for some time; it doesn&#x27;t really need more FDI especially given how far the economic transition has progressed. The party was been expressly working to remove the dependency on FDI for some time and it&#x27;s paid off. None of this implies economic depression in any way.<p>&gt; yuan devaluation and chinese company bankruptcies<p>The Yuan has been rising. Yes, the USD has been rising faster but against most currencies the Yuan is up and has been very strong. I&#x27;m curious which bankruptcies you&#x27;re referring to. There haven&#x27;t been any more bankruptcies here than you&#x27;d expect for an economy of this size.<p>&gt; European companies, US funds, people everywhere<p>Any evidence of this? China is always going to put social stability first. Anyone dealing in China knows this. The ground rules are well established. The same claim could easily be made against the US and it&#x27;s restrictions, through it&#x27;s tax laws, on retail investors holding foreign financial instruments. You always play by the rules of the country you&#x27;re in; no country on the planet is an open free market.<p>&gt; empty cities and roads to nowhere.<p>This is a classic argument that don&#x27;t understand China&#x27;s scale or pay attention the five year plans and policy documents issued by the two sessions. China is in the process of massive urbanization. Those cities need to be built ahead of time. It&#x27;s a necessary consequence of the scale involved. And as we&#x27;ve seen, the empty cities of 5 years ago have filled up.<p>&gt; league of legend game studio and AMC.<p>I&#x27;m not sure what private companies investing outside of China has to do with this. These are not connected to the Chinese government any more than an US private company buying a foreign company is. Actually, it&#x27;s likely even less connected given how much more the US government facilitates American companies purchasing foreign assists. Again, China has been a next exporter of investment for some time.<p>China is a developing nation and it doesn&#x27;t make much sense to compare it to developed nations. It has a long way to go; the party&#x27;s own goal is to start approaching developed nation status in the 2050s. Investing in developing nations always entails more risk and more uncertainty. Beside the literal inaccuracy, your Enron analogy is largely not apt because it&#x27;s trying to situate it in a developed environment.<p>That said, compared to most developing nations China is a pretty well run one.
