Consumption in China both domestic and foriegn. Growth in China, Her growth offshore! What does this mean to the metals group? How to provide for their domestic market,growing in great numbers and be an exporter of goods. Much of the China economic growth was via the Hong Kong Exchange with foriegn investors pouring in far beyond small numbers of multi 100's BILLIONS of dollars from wealthy individual investors from arouind the Globe. Think about this/these inuendos for even one moment and reflect the events that occured to follow, TSX wanes, over 2000 Jrs instantly become ghosts, no investing/only to the bare minimal in the USA if at all. It was these investors that sent the hoards of CASH to China, will they get a burn out syndrome when they may hit the end of the road for the isolated infussion of these funds. Thier tap may just be getting a bit slower as the Globe wants diversity in their own countries. If China cannot sustain their supply side what effect will this have on the Global measure? Much more can be said, so i will just mention 2007/08 era when the China syndrome really took root telling us to throw our money at China. Good for China, however i think the entire Global effect is directly because of this investing in China in the first place. What has been created is a MONSTER that is sending WAVEs of cash around the Planet like little Tsunamies from China, here and there by buying up Jrs in the most lucrative Countries that have reasonable safe haven for investing. Kunundrum,yes. If you read the following you can fill in a lot of the blanks i left open to readers. IMO the climate bodes extremely well for us offshore investors in Jrs such as LBSR and pretty much other emerging Jr miners. AMHO! The table is set:
