...I have heard that the PRC is starting to see some inflation...

Inflation is rough there. From May 2011 to December 2011 the inflation on basic foods was up 5-10% in the same markets.

Isn't the interest rate also high out there?

The actual interest rate is indeed very high. But you'll have to know the right place to invest first.

A lot of people can't get loans anyway though. They borrow from family. I don't see many people getting loans as the housing market is slowing down in China. In Guangzhou they have cut some prices by 75%.

In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a vast number of small and medium sized manufacture companies, which contribute to a considerable portion of the whole economy, rely on loans to live and thrive. They usually get private loans, because banks usually aren't willing to let them borrow.
