Don't forget the advantages of investing in a free society as opposed to a Communist dicatatorship. Just a thought.

Don't forget the advantages of investing in a free society as opposed to a Communist dicatatorship.

There are disadvantages as well - politicians feel voter pressure, sometimes to the disadvantage of foreign investors. Worrying about what the locals think and how it might hurt your investment isn't nearly as much of a problem in a dictatorship. On the positive side, democracy means less chance of some catastrophic uprising by people who can't legally make their voices heard, and there's a better established system of business law based on the British system of laws.
