I'm a fan of Rogers as he is someone that always just seems to just tell you how it is and what he is thinking. He even defends Keynes a little in this interview.

This quote did interest me and he stresses on it again later in the interview. Anyone have any more information on what to watch for or when this is happening?


Well, they're certainly making a big play, a splash about corruption. Many, many individuals within the Chinese government have been put in jail, not just out of this group but the previous group, as well. Look at the United States where nobody – or if anybody, one or two people – has gone to jail in the past decade despite all the major problems whereas in China, thousands of people have gone to jail. So they certainly are doing a better job than we are in the US and perhaps in the West. We'll know a lot more about corruption soon. They're pursuing it and, as I say, many thousands of people have gone to jail.

As we speak, there is a meeting underway in Beijing on what to do about the Chinese economy. It's a plenary council, which only meets periodically. The first meeting was in 1978 where Deng Xiaoping started opening up the Chinese economy, which has certainly been the most important event in the world economy in the past 35 years. In 1993 they had another one, which had dramatic results. The Chinese say that this meeting is going to have equally dramatic and dynamic results and come up with very important changes. We will know a lot more at this time next week about what the Chinese are going to do. It may be as important as 1993 or 1978, and if they do big things, which they say they are, it's going to be perhaps the most important thing affecting the world economy over the next 10 or 20 years.

... From waht I can gather, the most significant thing so far is a relaxation of the one-child policy. For at least a year now (in some parts of the country) if a married couple are BOTH single children, they are allowed to have a second child. This is going to be extended to the rest of the country too.

I'll update you if I see any momentous economic announcements. I have to warn you though that economic gobbledegook isn't my language, so I might not be able to spot what's important !! ;)

this article published today (11/16/13) nicely articulates some of the the nuts and bolts of what's going down with China's internal economic concerns ...

This is the best site I have found for China information. https://sinocism.com/

After you get there click on the latest Sinochism China Newsletter. It's daily for another few days but going weekly on November 28th. A fabulous resource about china.

Here is a followup from Rogers. He sees an agriculture boom. I wonder what changes this will mean for the Chinese people.
