			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2708" src="http://senses.thirdi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/chinext-technology-investment-funding.jpg" alt="chinext-technology-investment-funding" width="302" height="186" />The  new NASDAQ styled stock exchange <a href="http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/bizchina/2009-10/31/content_8876963.htm" target="_blank">ChiNext</a>, based in Shenzhen, had only been open for five minutes before the word &#8220;<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125687962237018131.html" target="_blank">bubble</a>&#8221;  could be heard murmured from the lips of skeptics.  At the end of the day the market capitalization of ChiNext stood at 140 billion yuan ($20.5 billion), with some IPOs increasing their initial values by over 200%. It was even rumored that a long time party member had yelled &#8220;Long live Adam Smith!&#8221; with tears of joy welling in his eyes, glass of Armagnac in one hand, two <a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/01/05/cohibe-behike-cigar-one-expensive-smoke/" target="_blank">Behike cigars</a> smoldering in the other. It seems a lot of people are pleased with capitalist-style communism lately.</p>
<p>As the wall Street Journal reports though, there are concerns that low interest rates combined with massive fiscal stimulus (there we go, that&#8217;s old style communism!) and a lessening risk aversion among Chinese investors are potentially combining to create a <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125687962237018131.html" target="_blank">dangerous asset bubble</a>. Tell that to the Chinese, it&#8217;s party time right now.</p>
<p>Chinese investors have waited for years for this event, and <a href="http://in.reuters.com/article/businessNews/idINIndia-43549420091030" target="_blank">small Chinese technology firms</a> that have seen the large companies getting the lion&#8217;s share of investment and support now have a much needed source of capital funds to draw from. To match the ChiNext launch, the Chinese government has reportedly set up 20 <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20091030-709704.html" target="_blank">technology supporting investment funds</a> as well.</p>
<p>If that&#8217;s not enought to convince you that China has emerged as a technology powerhouse, Chinese A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd. (<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20091029-909271.html?mod=wsjcrmain" target="_blank">APWR</a> on the NASDAQ) a producer of wind power turbines, was awarded the contract to provide turbines for a new west <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/10/30/china-technology-to-power-us-wind-farm/" target="_blank">Texas wind farm</a>, one of the largest wind farms in America.  Deep in the heart of west Texas, America&#8217;s new green energywill be powered by Chinese companies and chinese technology. In fact, some contentious <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125680121414515403.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_sections_news" target="_blank">US-China trade restrictions</a> were recently lifted as <a href="http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-10/29/content_12357330.htm" target="_blank">President Obama</a> gets set to visit with the Chinese leadershipin Beijing next month.</p>
<p>Maybe they like his brand of communist-style capitalism.</p>

<p>I kid!</p>
