The official death toll from the ethnic riots in Xinjiang as reported by the Xinhua News Agency is 184?
Q. Of those victims, 137 were Han Chinese and 45 were Muslim Uighurs. Do you believe that is an accurate number...why or why not? J W - You saw the clubbing. One solid hit to the head could certainly kill someone.

A. There is no way to know. Modern China is a highly authoritarian society. There are almost no independent observers and those few that exist, a handful of foreign journalists, are monitored by the authorities. China may not be North Korea but it's certainly not a free country either. !37 dead Han does sound exaggerated given the Uighurs were armed only with primitive or improvised weapons. I would however not be surprised if the number of injured Han was quite high, especially head injuries (from being struck with blunt instruments) and internal injuries (from being stomped and kicked while on the ground). As for the 45 dead Uighurs, it's hard to judge. Foreign journalists saw some evidence of shooting but not of the massive fusilade… [cont.]

A. 25% annual return life to date. Sounds pretty good to me. Of course it does not have much of a track record--2 years. It has a better record than the only other China index fund--PGJ. Twice as good. Since China is growing at about 3x the rate of the U S, I believe every prudent investor should have a portion of his/her assets invested in Chinese stocks. The vehicle one uses depends on the individual preferences. The choices are individual securities, index funds, or mutual funds. A closed end fund CHN that invests in China has a much longer track record with a life to date annual return of 9% since its inception date on 1992. It invests in a different mix of Chinese companies than the index funds. Many smaller companies. … [cont.]

How did the press arrive at such a sorry state?
Q. the problem with journalism today is not just "gaping holes in coverage" and temporary abdication of professional journalism standards. Our "big media" have come increasingly to resemble the state-run press we see in China, with its gigantic Xinhua "News" Agency, in reality a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party. Or maybe a more apt comparison would be with Russia, where although criticism of the government can be found in some newspapers and on the Internet, the country's national television channels are essentially extensions of the state: "They are all either controlled by the Kremlin or run by editors who know what not to say".

A. It is tragic. However, if they had kept at their prior birth rate, can you even conceive of what the poverty there would be like? I would never impose a one child requirement, but continued overpopulation in poorer countries dooms them and will lead to worse times yet to come. It is an URGENT situation, and China did something about it. What can I say? I admire that they had the will to do it and more or less carry it out, and look where they are now.
