Colony's China play stocks beckon amid mainland jitters

Article Abstract:

Foreign investors in China's stock, commodities and bond markets are expected to lessen their exposure to mainland investments and invest more in Hong Kong and Taiwanese stocks that have connections with mainland businesses. Investors are wary because China's government has not taken enough action to regulate its markets. Moreover, market collapses are probable with the big number of companies waiting to list, while the markets continue to be plagued by poor financial disclosure. Taiwan's markets are more attractive because of the presence of many manufacturers among listed companies, and markets are more open to foreign investment.

Hong Kong's impending return to China on Jul. 1, 1997 has inspired Chinese expatriates to come and seek employment there.

Deng Xiaoping's dreams of a brain gain is almost fulfilled. The Chinese students he sent abroad to study in the West will be back once Hong Kong is regained by China.
