There can also be ways to keep more money inside China than it appears possible, such as by reporting higher-than-actual import figures and lower-than-actual export figures.
The third channel is the influx of foreign direct investment. Some of them, Chinese economists say, have directly entered the stock market. But there is no way to tell how many companies with foreign direct investment have indirectly spent their money on China stocks, and how much. While another thing to do to seek as almost much profit as stir-frying stocks is to take part in the Chinese urban development, in real estate and in public infrastructure, which frequently involve some of the world's largest projects.
