China is changing its constitution to guarantee property rights for individuals and businesses.
China's entrepreneurs have been lobbying for the change. The change will bring China's legal system in line with the emerging economic behavior occurring in that country.

A guarantee of private property rights will foster even more business startups and small entrepreneurial enterprises in China. And due to the trend toward globalization, a ripple effect will be felt in the United States and western countries. Import/export activity will grow. Foreign investment in China, and foreign sourcing of goods and services from China, will certainly increase as businesses expand with confidence knowing their investments are better protected.
