Can the Red Dragon breath fire again

I was delighted to see my Chinese stocks light up this morning (CHL, LFC). Shanghai rallied 4+% percent last night making a huge reversal from the open. I believe we have seen a short term bottom from a very painful correction (painful is an understatement, the shanghai index dropped some 50% from peak!). Is all this buying pure speculation that the government will step in and stop the hemorrhage ahead of the olympics? It could be ... but I bet we'll see more bargin hunting even if we were to see lower lows.

I remain bullish of Taiwan:
