As I understand it, China doesn't allow speculation in anything other than real-estate and Chinese can't buy property in China (it's more of a grant from the state).

So there's a lot of money that can't be invested locally or in financial vehicles (ie, 401k).

There is the Chinese stock market, but it’s lost most of its credibility as being heavily vested in insider trading.
