My comment:
(a) Kaname AKAMATSU 赤松 要 (1896-1974), noted for 雁行形態論
Flying Geese Paradigm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Geese_Paradigm
(FGP; The FGP has proved to be a useful tool when describing the regional
production patterns in East Asia as industries such as the textile industry
has left not only Japan – the most advanced East Asian nation – but also,
at a later point, South Korea and, Taiwan etc. These second tier nations
have now firmly established themselves in for instance the automotive
industry and are now beginning to shift to the even more advanced production
of microcomputers and the like.)
Note:
(i) 要 【かなめ】 (n) (1) pivot
(ii) 要石 【かなめいし】 (n) keystone
(iii) 雁行 【がんこう】 (n) the flight formation of geese
Jim Breen's online Japanese dictionary
(b) The report says, "Singapore and Hong Kong caught Japan in the early
1990s." They should be compared against their colonial master, UK. After all
, Japan occupied HK and Singapore for a short period of time during World
War II (HK fell on Dec. 25, 1041 and Singapore, on Feb. 15, 1942).
Then again, both HK and singapore are city states, which do not really count | j**n

发帖数: 6973 | 3 PRC may and can still be a great power--even a superpower--if it has not
thought about defeating or replacing United States, at least for teh last
decade. Look back and you will realize how sweet PRC was in 1970s--so much
so that it successfully yanked friends from Taiwan.
* Probably before also, but I was in Taiwan, to little, the authorative
regime back then censored everything, and there was no internet.
Now US and world powers are spooked by PRC and start undermining it
everywhere and by all means.
Sigh, Taiwan--and former President Chen Shui-bian--were in the wrong time
and at the wrong place.
