Calm before hopefully a gentle storm...

The Olympic is about to start and when one looks beyond Olymic, one
wonders what the next excitement will be for both China and the rest
of the world.

My own experiences in the past seem to have suggested that the next
storm will be one in which whoever will get into the White House will
have to gradually notch up the interest rates in order to check the
rampant growth of this Goliath named inflation. Since my economics
knowledge has already been 'given back' to teachers, I am looking
forward to being enlightened on this issue by high-tech economists
like Albert Fung and T Lee...and perhaps Jim Walsh too.

In particular, I wish to be illuminated on the various ramifications
for China by such an interest hike and what one can do to guard
oneself against the possible damages.
