	Speech by Vice Premier Qian Qichen at Inaugural Ceremony of Boao Forum for Asia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		In the past two decades and more, Asia has by and large maintained a relatively high rate of economic growth, with constant progress in industrialization and modernization of countries and rapid rise in the living standards of the people.
		Asia has gradually gained economic recovery from the financial crisis of 1997 and is still one of the fastest growing and most vibrant regions in the world.
		I am confident that the Boao Forum for Asia, with equality, reciprocity, cooperation and all-win as its main themes, will become a channel through which the Asian people and all those who are interested in Asia will deepen mutual understanding and friendship and expand cooperation.

	A-list message, Re: [A-List] Boao Forum for Asia
		If Asia can keep its relations fairly harmonious and can pull ahead in accumulation while Europe and the USA run into trouble, this will literally shift the balance of power in the world.
		It is not socialism, but it is a blow for a world in which power relations better reflect living labour than the dead capital that has accumulated in the past.
		These reports should be read quietly and soberly by the capitalist leaders in the west who left Asia to suffer so appallingly in the financial crisis of the later 90's while breaking every supposedly sacred rule to bail out their own economies now.
