Bloomberg: Jim Rogers Invests in Taiwan on Improving China Ties

Boop boop! I don't like the sound of this.

March 20 (Bloomberg) -- Jim Rogers, co-founder with George Soros of the
Quantum Hedge Fund, is investing in Taiwan
on expectations this week's presidential election will install a government that will improve ties with China.
Rogers, 65, said he recently bought exchange-traded funds tied to Taiwan, predicting the two economies will ``merge'' and that the island's currency will be boosted by appreciation in the Chinese yuan. The opposition Kuomintang's
Ma Ying-jeou and the ruling Democratic Progressive Party's Frank Hsieh both favor closer links with China, which is officially at war with Taiwan.
``Both of them are going to bring peace,'' Rogers, chairman of Rogers Holdings, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television yesterday in Singapore. ``It's ultimately going to be a merger of Taiwan and China. The currencies are going to merge. The economies are going to merge.''

when people say "it's all about money" that's because it is all about money.

``It's ultimately going to be a merger of Taiwan and China. The currencies are going to merge. The economies are going to merge.''

he forgot to add "Whether the Taiwanese want to or not!"

what a pandering bastard!
