The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which Austin Smith, consumer goods editor and analyst, along with Andrew Tonner, technology and media editor and analyst, discuss topics across the investing world.

In today's edition, Austin and Andrew give their picks for the top stocks to capitalize on the China boom. With the Chinese middle class set to explode in the coming decades, these consumers will have a heightened appetite for consumption, including Westernized foods and products (which are regarded as higher quality).
