Dear Fellow Investor,

It is worse, much worse, than even I realized. I admit.

The tragic earthquake that struck the western Sichuan Province in China last week has left 51,000 people dead, 300,000 injured and over 5 million homeless. The numbers are absolutely tragic.

My family and I are shaken.

The earthquake destruction is truly staggering, and the amount of people affected by the tragic event is equally astounding. Despite all this, though, there is hope among the Chinese.

As I've discussed many times before, the Chinese are persevering -- working endless hours to dig through the rubble and debris to rescue survivors and to rebuild their lives. As I talk to my colleagues and friends in China almost incessantly these days, I can report an extraordinary development: A renewed sense of focus, a new energy and…a fierce determination.

This determination is so strong that it cuts my own tears short. And based on these driven, hard-working and hopeful Chinese people, I think they'll come out of this natural disaster even stronger and with an eye on the future.

What's giving Chinese so much hope right now is the amount of support and aid that other countries have been providing, especially China's closest neighbors. $2.2 billion has been donated, with the people of Taiwan being the largest donors to the devastating earthquake, with donations exceeding $100 million. And it was one of the first nations to send in rescue workers to aid in the relief efforts in the Sichuan Province.

Taiwan's aid during the quake's aftermath is just another sign of the improving ties between the island and Mainland China. And this is just the beginning of a stronger relationship between the two for the future, because on Tuesday, Ma Ying-jeou was sworn into office as Taiwan's new president.

My China Strategy subscribers are already set to profit from the strengthening ties between Taiwan and Mainland China and I want you to be, too. Join China Strategy today and find out how you can profit from the improving relations between China and one of its closest neighbors.

A New Beginning

After eight years under the leadership of anti-China president, Chen Sui-bien, Taiwan is ready for a change, and I applaud the Taiwan people for choosing pragmatism over ideology in the recent presidential elections.

I'm personally very excited about the potential peace dividend that could come about as a result in Taiwan's change of leadership. The island stands to benefit greatly from the economic growth in China, and President Ma sees this potential as well as the ability to regain its stature in the global economy.

During his inaugural address this week, Ma stood firm in the steps he wants to take in order to strengthen ties with China, while maintaining the island's independence from the Mainland.

Since Ma's presidency ushers in a new era of closer cooperation between the two neighboring nations, I think that Taiwan's stock market will soon reflect these stronger ties and give us a multi-year bull market. To take advantage of the surge I'm expecting, I'm currently recommending two plays in Taiwan.

I invite you to join us for this. You will never regret it. China Strategy has guided many thousands of U.S. investors to safety and extraordinary profits and now it is your turn.

On my China Strategy Buy List, I am seeing where the new opportunities lie. And tomorrow I plan to issue flat-out buys on as many as FIVE China stocks that I know will prevail.

• On a China coal stock, now that electricity power supplies are being restored to the Sichuan Province
• On a China oil stock
• On a China medical stock
• On a China housing stock
• And on a China mobile phone stock.

You could not have chosen a more appropriate time to do this. Join China Strategy today.
