English term or phrase: bought into the proposition

If the gravity-defying Chinese stock markets are truly ripe for a correction, will it be a long and nasty one? Probably not, analysts contend
The awe-inspiring numbers coming out of China these days will reassure the global and local investors who have bought into the proposition that this $2 trillion-plus economy is a can't-miss buying opportunity.

已开始投资

Explanation:
global and local investors who have bought into the proposition

已经开始投资的全球及当地的投资者

这里“bring into" 是 “开始”的意思； the proposition在英文中有“A matter to be dealt with; a task”的意思，也即“ 任务，要处理的事务”这里就是指“投资（在中国股市投资）”。

我觉得这个句子的“the global and local investors who have bought into the proposition ”以及“that this $2 trillion-plus economy is a can't-miss buying opportunity. ”都应该是“assure"的宾语（双宾语），所以 ““that this $2 trillion-plus economy is a can't-miss buying opportunity. ”应该是宾语从句。

Explanation:
I agree with LU ZOU 100%!
Bought into the proposition - simply means someone is buying the idea that this $2-trillion economy......

Buying an idea is buying a 信念; to express it in verb form, we can say "深信" "認同";

However, "bougth into the proposition" does not suggest that anyone has already taken action on it (but in reality someone could have taken action ...)
