 My comment: Taiwan is not to blame. China has sent so many trade delegations
 to buy Taiwan goods.

 (a) Note:
 (i) The high net worth individual (HNWI) is defined by the report as anyone
 with investable assets of at least $1 million (thus excluding real estate
 and jewelry).
 (ii) The report can be downloaded in several languages (English; Korean
 traditional and simplified Chinese; not Japanese). HOWEVER, one needs to
 sign in.

 (b) Quote:
 
 "Asia-Pacific’s HNWI population matches that of Europe’s for the first
 time at 3 million.
 
 "Japan is by far the single largest HNWI market in Asia-Pacific. Alone it
 accounted for 54.6 percent of the Asia-Pacific HNWI population and 40.3
 percent of its wealth at the end of 2009. At the same time, growth in Japan
 was less than in other markets due to the slowdown in Japan’s macroeconomic
 growth and the relatively weak performance of its stock markets.
 
 "China remained the second-largest HNWI base in the region, and fourth-
 largest in the world, with 477,000 HNWIs, up 31.0 percent from the previous
 year.
 
 "Hong Kong’s HNWI population had the highest percentage gain in the world,
 up 104.4 percent to 76,000. This growth, however, did not fully recoup the
 large declines Hong Kong saw in 2008. Despite significant gains in key
 market drivers of wealth, particularly equities and real estate, the number
 of HNWIs in Hong Kong at the end of 2009 was still only 79 percent of the
 number at the end of 2007.
