Pot of gold

China has 236,000 rich people, according to a new survey. Rich is defined as having at least US$1 million in assets. This is a 12% increase from the previous year. While that's impressive India recorded a 22% increase. To put that in context, the US had at least 6.5 million millionaires in 2003.

China also had 68,000 road deaths in the eight months to August. To get rich in China isn't glorious - it's hazardous to your health.
