The Key to China's Growth
Dear American Capitalist reader,
Driving in the daily grind of bumper-to-bumper traffic is enough to put the brakes on any one’s patience. Just the other day, it took me three hours to drive from Baltimore, Maryland to Washington, D.C. in pouring down rain. Three and a half hours! Two of those hours were spent behind 16-wheelers.
Think that’s bad? Think of the worst commute you’ve ever had and triple it. That’s life as a commuter on China’s urban roads.
Ever since China’s economic boom, more and more Chinese citizens own cars. The number of privately owned vehicles in China almost doubles each year. Roads are continuously clogged with traffic. And the transportation authority can’t keep up with the needs of its ever-expanding vehicular population, no matter how many lanes they add to the roads each year.
As for the 16-wheeler I had the privilege of driving behind, it could’ve been worse. In China, a truck in some of the country’s most congested highways will move only three meters in so many hours.
But there is a solution… To ease congestion, cool the flaring tempers, and get its citizens to work on time, the Chinese government is investing billions in a railway system, where already 35% of Chinese passenger traffic uses every day.
The numbers could easily double – even triple as China’s government pushes to have 100,000 kilometers working railroad tracks by 2020.
To make this dream a reality, China is turning to Western business practices. The Chinese government with plans to sell some of its own shares in the country’s top transportation enterprises to build capital and fund further development.
One of those transportation enterprises is a railway company that supports the largest industrial center in China (one third of China’s total exports come from this area). The rail company provides reliable commuter service to the three major cities in this manufacturing hub in the fastest, most modern trains in the country.
At the moment, the railway company needs funds to expand and buy a connecting railway. And the Chinese government is selling some of its own shares in the company on a local stock exchange to support the business venture.
It’s difficult, without using American-operated funds, to find a way into Chinese markets and difficult to keep track of stocks in those markets, especially when you can’t read or speak the local language.
But Taipan executive publisher J. Christoph Amberger found a way to avoid the domestic Chinese stock exchanges and still benefit from the country’s transportation boom. You can read specifics in his special report by clicking below.
