"Which stocks and which sectors are relatively inflation-proof while offering exposure to emerging market growth, particularly in China?" asks Glenn Rogers.

The contributing editor to Internet Wealth Builder explains, "I kept coming back to a basket of Chinese Internet stocks which, with a few exceptions, have not significantly pulled back with the rest of the Chinese market.

"There are a lot of things to like about the Internet in China where they had a total of 384 million web surfers at the end of 2009. That is greater than the entire population of the United States and that's with a penetration of only 23% so there is lots of room to grow.

"NetEase (NTES) fits right into the theme of rapidly expanding Internet revenues and profits in China," says Jim Trippon.

The editor of the China Stock Digest explains, "At least 450 million Chinese are now online. Online gaming has 265 million users and is expected to gross over $4 billion over the past year.

"This company has a wide offering of products, even though it is mostly known to western investors as a gaming platform. In fact, NetEase falls into all of the major categories of web revenue generation with significant ad sales, a home page service similar to Yahoo, email, search and a new online B2C (business to consumer) shopping presence.

The editor of Cabot China & Emerging Markets Report explains, "E-Commerce China Dangdang (DANG) is an online bookseller that's been following in Amazon.com's footsteps.

"Our latest recommendation is a bet on China through SINA Corp. (SINA), a leading Chinese online media services provider," says international investing specialist Nicholas Vardy.

The editor of The Global Bull Market Alert explains, "Up until relatively recently, Sina's services were similar to other portals in China. But its Sina Weibo, a new twitter-like micro-blogging service, has caught users' (and investors') attention.

"First, unlike Twitter, Sina Weibo is in Chinese, giving it a big edge with local users. It also allows users to attach pictures, video and audio to their postings -- something you can't do easily with Twitter.

"In our opinion, Chinese Internet search company Baidu (BIDU) remains the top growth stock in the market," says growth stock investor Mike Cintolo.

In Cabot Top Ten, a newsletter service that each week assesses the market's 10 strongest stocks based on technical performance, he explains, "The big idea with Baidu, of course, is online search in China, an industry that's probably where the U.S. market was back in the mid 2000s, before a few years of mega-growth.

"One lesson we learned long ago is that it often pays to recognize stocks showing unusual strength -- one such stock is NetEase (NASDAQ: NTES)," says Mike Cintolo in The Cabot Market Letter.

"When it comes to numbers, Giant Interactive (NYSE: GA) is the kind of company that accountants can only dream about; with a profit margin above 70% and huge cash reserves, the stock is selling well below book value," says China expert Jim Trippon.

In his The China Stock Digest he explains, "Giant was founded in November 2004 and as become one of the fastest-growing and most profitable companies in the Chinese online game industry."

"We're increasing our bet on Asia through Shanghai-based Chinese gaming company, Shanda Interactive Entertainment Ltd. (NASDAQ: SNDA)," says international stock expert Nick Vardy in The Global Bull Market Alert.

"I expect this small-cap stock to be a solid, risk-return trade, especially if you are willing to endure some volatility.

"First, Shanda operates online games in the People's Republic of China and is a pioneer in the hugely complex role-playing games that people play over the Internet.

One month ago, we featured a special report featuring the favorite China-based stocks among financial newsletter advisors. Since then, the 14 stocks covered in the report have risen an average of more than 15%.

The performance of these stocks -- along with the overall China market -- has far exceeded the 3% gain in the S&P 500 index over the same time period. That report can be viewed here.

Two leading advisors -- both with a noted focus on technical analysis -- look to Shanghai-based Shanda Interactive (NASDAQ: SNDA).

In his Ticker Tape Digest advisory service, Leo Fasciocco focuses on stocks breaking out of basing patterns and cconsiders Shanda a breakout buy.

Jim Collins, editor of OTC Insight, uses a proprietary quantitative system to isolate high growth and momentum stocks trading at reasonable valuations relative to that growth.

His latest two featured stocks based on these criteria are both China-based companies: Internet search provider Baidu.com (NASDAQ: BIDU) and online gaming firm Shanda Interactive Entertainment Limited (NASDAQ: SNDA).

Collins notes that Baidu's search engine was the most frequently used in China in 2006. Last December, he adds, Baidu announced its intention to enter the Japanese search market, which is currently dominated by Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG).

In March, he adds, the company launched a limited beta trial of its Japanese language search services, which included web and image search.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, he reports, Baidu showed earnings of $0.61 a share, compared with $0.21 per share in the prior year. Revenues, he states, increased 121% to $53 million. The stock, he explains, has a relative strength rating of 99 (out of 100) and garners a B+ for accumulation and distribution.
