The signs of a hard landing of the Chinese economy are getting easier to read.

In a recent study by Bain, a consultancy, and China Merchants Bank, more than 60% of China's high net worth individuals have already left China or are planning to emigrate.

Further, the newly acquired wealth of these entrepreneurs is leaving as well. The more than $2 trillion that has been sent overseas since 2000 could be more than the total amount of foreign investment into China in the past ten years.
