Corruption is not an absolute, the are scales of corruption. According to Transparency international, Singapore is less corrupt than the US, which is less corrupt than China. Are you saying the stock market in China will never burst? I seem to remember hearing similar things in Silicon Valley during the late 90's, and I recall people saying that about real estate just a few years ago. When people tell me that some market can never go down, I want to run for the exits - bubble coming! I would expect that someone would get executed after the bubble bursts, not before. Alibaba stock fairly valued? Hmm. China is like Japan (and much of the West including the US) in that it will have the same issues with the graying of the population as Japan is now experiencing. China's experience will be exacerbated because of the 1 child rule. A few somewhat random notes on this subject:
