China is positioned to rule the economic world in the coming decades. Western producers find it impossible to compete with China's 60-cents-per-hour average labor costs, and its manufacturing sectors continue to grow exponentially. Export markets are flooded with high-quality, brand-name consumer goods produced in China. In addition to fueling China's dynamic growth curve, this exploding industrial sector has created a new class of worker with unprecedented disposable income and the desire to spend it on, of course, Chinese-produced goods.

It's an investment opportunity that, on this immense scale, you most likely won't see again in your lifetime. But how can you cut across cultural, language, and geographical barriers to put your investment dollars to work in China, today?
