The country is intentionally mismanaged. Government does always the wrong thing each time it intervenes. You could count on that to position accordingly on the stock market and make money that way.

    I disagree. China has the best system now, because they have no lawyers (25 per 10,000, or something). This translates into efficient government, which is 3 times as productive. The moment that lawyers are put out of work this country will begin to recover. From European countries, Switzerland has the least corrupt government.
