Specifically, how should US investors participate [...]
The People’s Republic of China has announced a 4 trillion Yuan ($586 billion US) spending package. This represents an astounding 20% of China’s gross domestic product (GDP).

There is ample evidence that China’s economy will survive this downturn and ultimately thrive in the year ahead. For the last three decades the Chinese economy has been the fastest growing in the world averaging double-digit growth for the last several years. Though the credit crisis has severely hampered growth in the West, China [...]
Here’s why you should consider taking an early position in China in 2009.

The mentality of investors will need to be adjusted in the future. No longer can they expect immediate gratification from an investment. Investors will have to change their focus from short term results to long term returns so companies can create “sustainable innovation.”
