Today, MoneyShow's Jim Jubak discusses China in regards to the adage "Bad News is Good News," because bad news about China's economy might hasten the start of some kind of Chinese government��r financial��timulus.
You��e familiar with ��ad news is good news��markets from the behavior of US stocks during the last year on negative news about US economic growth. The market�� rallied on many bad news days, on the theory that weaker than expected US economic growth would keep the Federal Reserve from cutting back its purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities, and put off any increase in short-term interest rates.
It looks like China is headed into that same kind of ��ad news is good news��direction. I think it�� a little early to proclaim that this logic is in the ascendant, but I do think traders are starting to think that more bad news about China�� economy is a good thing, because it pushes up the start of stimulus from the Chinese government and the People�� Bank.

Companies who cooperated with the investigation on dumping would be slapped with a 47.6% tariff and those who didn't would be taxed at 67.9%. �

Suntech is still alive ... sort of
The strange news of the week was another forbearance agreement on Suntech Power's (NYSE: STP ) debt. The company will delay payment of $541 million of notes originally due in March until Aug. 30, the second extension of forbearance. It's unclear exactly how many bondholders agreed to the delay or what Suntech will do in the meantime, but it's supposedly working with creditors to keep the company alive. � - [By Rebecca McClay]

Advisors' Opinion:- [By John Udovich]
China is set to ease the one child policy, something that could benefit Chinese stocks in general but be especially beneficial to insurance stocks like China Life Insurance Company Ltd (NYSE: LFC) and CNinsure Inc (NASDAQ: CISG) plus health care stocks like Mindray Medical International Ltd�(NYSE: MR) and Concord Medical Services Hldg Ltd (NYSE: CCM). First, let�� be clear that China is NOT abolishing the one child policy as the changes will merely�allow married couples to have two children if one spouse is an only child plus it will be up to China�� 34 province-level administrations to revise�their laws and put the new policy into effect. Moreover, China�� family-planning bureaucracy employs more than 500,000 full-time workers and six million part-time workers all the way down to the village level to�collect billions of dollars in fines and these bureaucrats have fought for years against policy changes���meaning they could throw up roadblocks if not placated. With that said, the insurance and health care sectors are two sectors with publicly Chinese stocks that look set to�take advantage of the coming changes.

So far this year, our holdings in this area did not work well and the overall IT sector performance was dragged down especially by two small-cap companies��ina Corp (SINA) and Digital China Holdings. Sina, one of China�� most popular web portals, came under selling pressure due to market concerns that its Twitter-like online communications services Weibo, may be losing its growth momentum to a main competitor. However, we continue to hold Sina as we believe the target market for its competitor is different from Weibo and we also believe Sina�� current valuation does not reflect its other attractive underlying assets.From Matthews China Fund (Trades, Portfolio)�� Second Quarter 2014 Commentary.Also check out: Matthews China Fund Undervalued Stocks Matthews China Fund Top Growth Companies Matthews China Fund High Yield stocks, and Stocks that Matthews China Fund keeps buying Currently 0.00/512345
