China consumption to soar; Chinese ETFs rock, China consumer ETF

China has been actively promoting an increase in internal Chinese consumption. Der Spiegel reports that the once vilified model of the western world, consumption, is now patriotic.

'Consumption has become an acceptable form of patriotism. International experience, Vice Premier Li says, teaches us that "any major power's development process must be led by domestic demand."'

CHIQ is the global Chinese consumers ETF. It has risen 11.7% since January 2010.
