Is China the Next Japan? The Dragon Economy’s Struggle with 'Dead Money'

Once the king of the emerging world, China was growing at a fevered pace and set to eclipse many developed market nations as the world’s newest leader. However, Asia’s Dragon Economy hasn’t lived up to its potential over the last few years or so. Multiple setbacks have plagued China, sending its stock market and economy lower and lower.

Now, the question is whether or not China is investable anymore and is it doomed to follow Japan and become ‘dead money’ for decades?

The answer is complex and the risks may outweigh the rewards. For investors looking toward China and its equities market, caution is certainly warranted. The end results may not be what they are looking for.
