People who doubt China's potential haven't visited there lately

摘要

There are basically two types of businessmen in the world today, those with a bullish view of China's economic potential and those with a bearish view, according to a Canadian coal official that Coal Americas spoke with recently. "I do know a few people that really want to be excited about China, but they're waiting for the other shoe to drop. They believe the outlook is just too good to be true," the official said. "Considering the economic booms and busts that Asia experienced in the 1990s, it's only natural that some people might be a little apprehensive." However, the official believes the vast majority of the "China bears" consist of people who haven't visited China recently. "Once you visit, you'll become a believer very quickly," the official said.
