You are watching Asia Business Report. Investors who are looking to

:00:44.:00:51.

dip their toes are little further into the Chinese market might have

:00:52.:00:57.

to wait another year because of the MSCI has delayed the inclusion of

:00:58.:01:04.

domestic equities yet again. The firm says China has made any

:01:05.:01:09.

significant step towards inclusion but investors want improvements

:01:10.:01:18.

before they are included. I spoke to an member of Fidelity investment and

:01:19.:01:25.

asked if this surprised her? Not only surprise, because when we

:01:26.:01:31.

looked at market expectations it was 50-50 regarding the inclusion. It is

:01:32.:01:36.

important to note that while we have seen significant improvements in

:01:37.:01:41.

terms of how foreign investors access Chinese stock, the criteria

:01:42.:01:48.

set last year a lot of it still has to be fulfilled. It is not just

:01:49.:01:56.

result of this news. That will have to try again next year. Do you think

:01:57.:02:04.

they will ever include them? MSCI stated in the inclusion could occur

:02:05.:02:11.

within the next year, outside of the review period which falls every

:02:12.:02:16.

June. If we see further developments in terms of how we access the

:02:17.:02:24.

markets, we could see inclusion. Don't forget, it is likely to be at

:02:25.:02:29.

partial inclusion - let's say 5%- and inclusions take years to

:02:30.:02:34.

implement it so it is long-term story and in years to come, when you

:02:35.:02:41.

do access Chinese stocks, it will be three different share types, it will

:02:42.:02:46.

be one type altogether. -- it will not be. Can they buy shares listed

:02:47.:02:57.

overseas? Yes, you can get Hong Kong listed stocks, the famous Alibaba

:02:58.:03:03.

for example, from an active management perspective, we access

:03:04.:03:10.

the sharemarket through our quotas so there are still many ways for it

:03:11.:03:13.

is this outside of China to access the Chinese growth story and

:03:14.:03:18.

opportunity when it comes to individual names. I want to ask you

:03:19.:03:25.

about market volatility, not just in China but across the world, because

:03:26.:03:29.

there are fears about the UK leaving the EU and the Federal Reserve

:03:30.:03:35.

potential rate hike. Will it continue? It is likely to continue,

:03:36.:03:41.

especially with next week's referendum and uncertainty of the

:03:42.:03:49.

Federal Reserve's decision. We are still seeing some long-term

:03:50.:03:53.

opportunities across Asia but do expect market volatility to continue

:03:54.:03:59.

and possibly more than the economic backdrops were finding in our part

:04:00.:04:04.

of the world. China is not the only country that faced disappointment

:04:05.:04:10.

over market the classification. The MSCI also rejected South Korea's bid

:04:11.:04:16.

to be reclassified to the developed markets status. There was concern

:04:17.:04:21.

over the compatibility of Korean markets. And the use of exchange

:04:22.:04:28.

data for the creation of national products. In other business news:

An appeals court has upheld some of the strongest neutrality rules in

:04:58.:05:03.

the world today. The rules high-speed Internet can be defined

:05:04.:05:10.

:05:11.:05:25.

The annual videogame conference, E3 is on in Los Angeles. For clues on

:05:26.:05:33.

what is installed, we have this report. E3 is kicking off behind me

:05:34.:05:42.

after the exciting announcements from Microsoft, it is finally time

:05:43.:05:47.

to play some of the games. I looking forward to it. The Batman VR - it

:05:48.:05:55.

will take over everything. I hoping to see a lot of new great games. The

:05:56.:06:02.

huge lineup from Sony and electronic arts. I'm looking forward to playing

:06:03.:06:09.

and try out new capabilities. It looks crazy different. It will be

:06:10.:06:15.

interesting. Who has the upper hand? Sony. They came out all cylinders

:06:16.:06:22.

:06:23.:06:29.

Hardware - Microsoft dropped the couple of bombs. They did drop some

:06:30.:06:40.

hardware on us Sony has the games down. It is huge business. Over $100

:06:41.:06:48.

billion will be spent this year alone on the new games. 50,000

:06:49.:06:52.

people are expected to come through those doors over the next few days.

Let's stay with technology. Besides in New Zealand had been working on

:07:01.:07:08.

product which puts them at the cutting edge of technology. They are

:07:09.:07:14.

producing type of smart rubber which could change the way we control our

:07:15.:07:24.

modern devices. Just another glitzy fashion show in New York... But not

:07:25.:07:33.

quite. There is science going on here. Those fancy lights are

:07:34.:07:42.

controlled by wearable ticks on the model. Auckland University research

:07:43.:07:51.

into electric charge rubber could be game changer. It has three different

:07:52.:07:57.

players, to conduct it pieces of rubber and one non- conductive. We

:07:58.:08:03.

can feel different pressure points. It is cheap and economical and easy

:08:04.:08:08.

to use and applied. The control things intuitively with your hands

:08:09.:08:13.

and body and we want to use that to control devices around us. If you

:08:14.:08:19.

moved your arm, made the gesture, we can use it to control something. For

:08:20.:08:27.

example, change the music or typing things in the air and sending text

:08:39.:08:45.

weapon and I can then use... My middle finger to open doors and walk

:08:46.:08:52.

into other rooms. When the rubber is stretched or quashed, it can produce

:08:53.:08:57.

energy. You can have this on your body and produce power from the

:08:58.:09:02.

devices you are wearing without having to worry about battery

:09:03.:09:07.

recharged and that is essentially what you might call aware and forget

:09:08.:09:16.
