Who owns the world's largest oil reserves? You might be surprised. Or maybe not, but it might help give you some sense of recent news, attempted coups, wars, and BRICS.

If true, severing trade-flow data would be something to do, before a move in the OPPOSITE direction - ie. before a big movement of monies INTO their market (in my opinion). Chinese share markets are among the cheapest in the world (on a valuation basis), in my opinion.

Thanks for the kind feedback. And you're 100% right - share dilution is invisible to the naked eye, unless we remember to keep checking on that metric, over time. (ie. it can result in someone else eating our lunch!)

Wonderfully attractive headline, thank you for sharing. Like firefighters driving towards smoke - value-investors Attract themselves toward deeply negative headlines such as this. Many Chinese real estate shares produce a 10% dividend yield today. Bad "news" is good news!
