Re: Canadian Report Finds Empty Mall – Discovers China Retail Space Glut

It's true that there are many other misguided articles printed every day (whether Western or Eastern) , but that doesn't add to the correctness of any assertions of a retail space glut in China.

Perhaps, though I am inclined to believe much of the "western media" might do the same- jump to conclusions that is.

Largest shopping mall....typical: high rise buildings, infrastructure projects and shopping malls. That's how China is merely developing. Unsustainable.

Yes, I thought that timeframe looked a bit optimistic as well. Maybe this will be not only the world's largest mall, but also the first fully-prefab one?

The explanation for the 'proofreading' error in Jones Lang LaSalle's 4Q11 Asia Pacific Property Digest is that the change in rent q-o-q on page 6 is based on the change in the spot rent, whereas the change in rent quoted in the Shanghai Office write up on page 22 is a like-for-like change holding the basket of buildings the same. The like-for-like number is 'more accurate' in our view because it removes the impact that newly completed buildings have on the spot rental rate. In such a large market as Shanghai Grade A office, the difference is clearly minimal, but in emerging markets (or submarkets) where new supply represents a large percentage of the existing stock, it can make a big difference to measure the rental change this way.

Re: Muddy Waters Yurun Rumor Proves That China Fears Run Wild

I won't argue with folks who are afraid of what is lurking behind the balance sheet of many listed Chinese companies. But it would be nice if they actually waited for Muddy Waters to actually publish something (which didn't happen in any case). That said, I am eagerly awaiting their next report.

One would think that the panic is somewhat justifiable when Muddy Waters research is running at an 80% strike rate.

Ah the early 1990s and dot com bubble days. Seems like only yesterday Michael.
