Dear Wealth Daily reader:
I want to introduce you to the newest member of the Wealth Daily team,
Sam Hopkins. Sam hails from Kansas, the great state that gave the world
such social bulwarks as John Brown, Wilt Chamberlain and Fatty Arbuckle.
But don't let his pedigree fool you. Sam is no elitist. While on a
research junket in China that took him to Qinghai (Northern Tibet), Sam
quickly adapted to floor toilets... and was able to stomach the curried
yak jerky and barley liquor, something that won him the admiration of
his hosts.
Sam has an impressive background.
Barely old enough to drink, Sam speaks 7 languages, has dual degrees in
linguistics and international relations, and has traveled extensively
throughout Asia and Europe.
Sam understands the interconnectedness of the world like few do. And
he'll reveal his insights in these pages.
Sam will head the Global Intelligence desk for Wealth Daily, bringing
you insights, stories and investment opportunities from around the
world.
His first feature is China, and how to understand... and capitalize on
this resource monster that's been unleashed on the world.
- Brian Hicks
Mao Money, Mao Money
The first time I stepped into my hotel room in China, I didn't know why
it was dark. Every room I had ever entered in an American hotel-at least
ones that could legitimately be called "hotels"-had at least a table
lamp lit to welcome me.
There was a small plastic piece mounted on the wall to my left that read
"Insert key here for power."
I came back from my recent trip to China with a drive to take part in
China's boom in whatever way I could. After studying the situation
closely, I realized that even though Chinese businesses don't leave the
lights on all night, they'll come up short in the end if they can't find
their energy key when they need it.
In 2004, widespread power failures caused what I like to call the
Chinese Energy Freakout. Since then we have seen Chinese leaders resolve
to never again let the lights go out. They are investing in every
possible solution they can, and roaming the world to lock down their
fuel supply.
China has an unrelenting need for fuel. Its GDP is growing at 9 to 9.5
percent yearly, and per capita GDP is set to increase with government
help, bringing prosperity to more and more Chinese.
Since 2001, every 1% rise in Chinese GDP has brought on more than 1%
increase in energy consumption.
The Chinese economy appears to be unstoppable, and even if this trend
flattens out somewhat, China will still be the world's economic
pacesetter.

"It's Here!"
As reported in today's USA Today:
"As global demand rises, American consumers will find themselves in a
bidding war with others around the world for scarce oil supplies. That
will send prices of gasoline, heating oil and all petroleum-related
products soaring."
That's why I'm sending out an urgent buy alert on my #1 oil sands stock.
The company is sitting on 2.4 billion barrels of oil. and everybody
wants it.
You can buy shares for $5 now... maybe $19 in 12 months!

Brother, Can You Spare A Brick?
There's a saying floating around the bars and clubs of Shanghai: "The
national bird is the crane, and not the one with feathers."
Visiting China is like seeing the world's largest construction site. And
if you doubt that, check this out: The government plans to construct
housing for 20 million people every year for the next 10 years.
Look left and you see a building rising. Look right and you see a
building rising. Look up and, if you're lucky, you see the sky.
The 2008 Olympics will be held in Beijing. Guess what that means...
Even more construction, even more demand for materials, and even greater
attention drawn to China's meteoric rise.
Unlike the Greeks who could barely get their stadiums built in time for
the Opening Ceremonies last year, the Chinese will not be caught with
their pants down.
Foreigners smart enough to profit from China's discipline won't be
caught with their pants down either.
Economist Ed Yardeni calls this China's "growth imperative." I call it
the economic unleashing of 1.3 billion into the 21st Century.
The 21st Century Belongs to China
China has a game plan for the 21st Century. With apologies to the
Project for a New American Century and those who would like to see the
U.S. remain the only superpower, China may well leave us in their dust.
Here's a quick example of the Chinese spirit and determination: The
Chinese space program was not invited to be part of the International
Space Station. Do you think they cried about it? As one of the Chinese
astronauts who orbited Earth this week put it, "We won't beg."
China also isn't begging to be invited to the Peak Oil dance. As the
world's hydrocarbon resources dwindle by the day, China-centric Asia
will account for 45% of the global increase in consumption by 2025.
So, Chinese prospectors and their foreign partners are scouring the
world for black gold to insure their growth. They are working on
extraction from oil shale and exploring for deposits inside and outside
of China, most notably in Canada. But they know that no matter how much
more fossil fuel they squeeze out, it's gotta end sometime.
So China is making another move - Renewable Energy.
Like it or not, Communism gave China Five-Year Plans, which provide
unified goals to a massive populace.
Where the first Five-Year Plans aimed to establish industrial capacity
along western lines, China now finds itself in a position to lead the
global economy, and their 11th Plan is to double 2000's per capita GDP
by 2010.
The beginning of these five years is proving China to be as smart as it
is big. The Renewable Energy Law, which will take effect in January
2006, is a resounding affirmation of the Chinese government's intention
to move toward clean, unending energy.
The goal: By 2020, 10% of all Chinese energy will be from renewable
sources.
And if the Chinese government wants something, it happens. There have
been loud protests in the past against some of China's moves, but the
Renewable Energy Law has prompted voices including Greenpeace and Tony
Blair to applaud the "socialist market economic system" for its
commitment to a better future.
From now on, renewable resources will be featured in Chinese classrooms
and laboratories, creating a unity of purpose that will fuel the
renewable sector's expansion for decades, even generations. But you
don't have to wait that long to get in on China's success.
You already know about "the China connection" in Canada. And if you
followed the oil sands plays in the Pure Energy Report, you profited
handsomely. But I'm telling you that China has to diversify its energy
sources. It's simply too big. and its energy needs are simply too
enormous to rely on a few sources like coal, natural gas, and oil.

China Turns Toward the Rising Sun
My biggest "Aha!" moment in China was discovering why I saw mirrored
satellite dishes outside so many rural homes. It turns out that they're
solar reflector ovens, which heat kettles of water and cook food without
the trouble of fetching kindling and breathing smoke.
China already produces 10 times as many solar water heaters as Europe,
and its production of photovoltaic fuel cells increased 60.4% in 2004.
Renewable energy industrial parks are popping up all over China. They
develop fuel cells and energy-saving glass for applications ranging from
greenhouse farming to skyscraper construction. Remember how much China
plans to build?
China is big.
China is growing.
China is smart.
The Chinese middle class is bustling, bringing about the introduction of
high-end international brands. These days, consumers can afford to buy
Nike and Adidas, though domestically-produced rivals enjoy a large
portion of most production sectors.
Primary product imports (i.e. iron ore, oil) to China increased by 26
percent from last year, and they are likely to remain high. Chalk that
up to the building boom.
But also this year China's total import rate is going to surpass its
exports for the first time as percent of GDP. That's because as they
move into their spiffy new apartments, China's urban middle class is
shifting to conspicuous consumption, and regional exporters are having a
field day.
As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all ships, and no one knows that
more than Singapore, the Philippines, and other Asian countries who
invested heavily in China's industrialization.
The Asian markets are running on a loop, with China at the beginning and
the end.
For American investors, this means an Asian smorgasbord, but it's not
sushi or chow mein. There is an appetizing array of Asian firms and
foreign partners to choose from.
The average Asia-focused investment fund has enjoyed a 30 percent boost
over the past year.
Understanding the forces currently at work takes a recasting of the
traditional American view of China. This means forgetting all the films
you saw in school of throngs of Chinese workers in blue shirts riding
bicycles.
This year, 6.4 million cars are expected to be sold in China. By 2008
that number will be 15 million. That means that one-fourth of the cars
being bought worldwide will be bought in China.
In the transportation industry, the Renewable Energy Law facilitates a
cross-pollination of concerns: With 1.3 billion people all striving to
drive in the coming years, pollution and congestion will be major
problems, so Chinese developers are working with Dupont and other
foreign firms to get fuel-cell scooters to market by 2007.
No matter what dilemmas China faces in the coming years, it will face
them head-on. China is a sleeping dragon that has finally woken up. It
can be scary if you've never seen such power before, but foresight tells
us we should get on the dragon's good side.
China is moving fast. You want to move with it. And in the coming weeks,
I'm going to show you exactly how.
Sincerely,
Sam Hopkins
