"We are very excited about the caliber of speakers who are participating in the inaugural China Best Ideas Investment Conference on September 10^th, and I think this is a fabulous introduction to anyone who wants to take a fresh look at investing in the second largest economy in the world," said Crocker Coulson, President of CCG Investor Relations. "Our goal is to assemble some of the most interesting publicly-listed and pre-IPO companies from China and the most insightful thinkers about what is driving change in the Chinese macro-economy and corporate sector."

"With a new government in place, a looming debt crisis in the state-owned enterprise (SOE) and local government sectors, and the beginnings of a more constructive approach by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) we may be in for some dramatic changes in the next 12 to 24 months. With the asset-intensive, state-directed, credit binge economic development model that has been pursued since 2008 now reaching a crisis point, China might experience a new round of reform that will create opportunities for overseas investors, or might enter a period of extended turbulence. In any event, a trip to the Middle Kingdom should be quite rewarding for any investor who is considering any exposure to China public companies," Coulson concluded.
