Is there even the slightest possibility foreign investors are going to put their resources into a rural Chinese county? Investment opportunities await, sure, but it is going to be a rare foreign business person that would find any interest in any particular county in rural China.
That really is the key, I think. There would almost always be some particular interest in an area before foreign business people would even take note of county level opportunities. The vast majority of foreign business will stay in the bigger cities, the regional city centers around which almost everything revolves.
I started thinking this through as I browsed through our county's investment guide. It is all in Chinese. That is for good reason. Interested investors are most likely going to be Chinese nationals, at least for this small of a town.
I had to wonder if it was worth talking about such investment opportunities here on the NewFrontierChina weblog. Are any of the readers here going to find any interest or would I just be rambling? I think the majority of investment opportunities listed in the government's investment guide are not going to be of any interest, but some of them might well be.
In a way, though, it really does not matter where the investment is, just what profit there is to be made and at what risk. It really comes down to the raw numbers.
I am just doing a little thinking out loud before I start blasting all of you dear readers with uninteresting information. I just want to keep my focus clearly fixed on those who would actually be reading this weblog.
