Land

Real estate or property. It is the primary (and indeed one of the only) assets whose values do not depreciate over time. Depending on the particular title, ownership of land may include mineral rights to any geophysical aspects occurring thereon. Ownership of land does not automatically include the right to develop it, depending on local regulations. While supply of land does not vary, demand may change greatly depending on its particular features, number of people in the area, and cultural differences regarding land ownership. It is an attractive form of collateral because it cannot be stolen or destroyed. See also: Plot, zoning law.

We believe China will not be able to achieve any kind of landing (neither soft nor hard) in the next year or two for three reasons: the absence of swift policy responses to rising economic problems; the heightening investment incentive ahead of major political events; and the inconvertibility of the capital account lengthens the duration of the bubble.

The term "soft landing"--and its presumed opposite, a hard landing--is not well defined for any country; it is especially problematic when applied to China.

However, given the good track record of the Chinese government in bringing down the overheated economy in late 1980s and middle 1990s, I believe that if appropriate policies are pursued, there is a possibility of achieving a soft landing over the next year or two.

Can China achieve a soft landing?

It provides pilots a clear image of the runway to allow safe landings.

"The missions then and now are limited to those areas that can support landings using ground-based navigation aids," said Machovina, who is with the command's long-range planning section at Scott Air Force Base, Ill.
