Several interesting points from that Economist article: no "superprofits" are being made by foreign investors, and domestic Chinese firms are earning a 19% return, which meaty but not "super"; MNCs are at least as interested in strong domestic markets as they are in cheap export platforms; and far from homogenizing everything, foreign investors have to accommodate themselves to local markets, tastes, and practices.
