Just last week, Subida helped Fools feel secure with China Information's fundamentals:

Almost 14 Million in cash, with 2X current [assets] over [liabilities]. They have a nice fat margin being a tech co. ... While their rate of growth has slowed marginally, the company still has a lot of room to run and is, after all, growing. I like it.

In a pitch from one week earlier, mrindependent expands on that bullishness:

[China Information Security Technology] provides secure software solutions for the public sector in China. It seems to be favored by the government. Due to the company's link to government spending, it has managed to grow throughout this recession and it future growth prospects look bright. ... Historical returns on equity exceed 20% and historical sales growth is terrific.
