	Asia - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Asia is traditionally defined as part of the landmass of Africa-Eurasia – with the western portion of the latter occupied by Europe – lying east of the Suez Canal, east of the Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian and Black Seas.
		The boundary between Asia and Europe is commonly believed to run through the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara, the Bosporus, the Black Sea, the Caucasus Mountains, the Caspian Sea, the Ural River to its source, and the Ural Mountains to the Kara Sea near Kara, Russia.
		Asia is the largest continent in the world by a considerable margin, and it is rich in natural resources, such as petroleum and iron.

	Economy - Thailand - Asia
		The recent history of Thailand’s economy is defined by more than a decade of sustained and rapid economic growth beginning in 1985, followed by a severe recession that started in late 1997.
		Low wages, policy reforms that opened the economy more to trade, and careful economic management resulted in low inflation and a stable exchange rate.
		The economy began to pick up again in early 1999, with GDP growth forecast at 1.5 percent for the year.

	Economy - China - Asia
		The reforms have gradually lessened the government’s control of the economy, allowing some aspects of a market economy and encouraging foreign investment; however, the state-owned sector remains the backbone of China’s economy.
		As a result of the reforms, China’s economy grew at an average annual rate of 10.2 percent in the 1980s and by 10.3 percent annually in the period of 1990-2000.
		The size of the country’s economy, which is comparable to that of Canada($688 billion), makes China a significant economic power; despite this, it remains a low-income, developing country because it must support a huge population of more than 1.2 billion.

		Western investors and politicans are in a rush to embrace the BRIC economies (Brazil, Russia, India and China), as the asian tigers lose their appeal.
		There is little sympathy in Southeast Asia for any suggestion that the appropriate policy to follow in relation to China is that of ‘containment’, and affirmations by the United States that it does not have this policy are regarded with some scepticism.
		In the absence of policy changes in Asia, the Asian countries would be likely to continue running surpluses, and so a fiscal contraction in the United States would only add a contractionary influence to a global economy already characterised by surplus saving and unusually low interest rates.

		"If countries are growing strongly and making increasing contributions to the global economy, then there should be a parallel enhancement of their position in the IMF," said Randal Quarles, acting undersecretary of the Treasury, in a statement to the US Congress.
		His statements came after ministers from developing nations, especially in Asia, complained in April that the current underrepresentation of developing countries in the IMF and its sister institution, the World Bank, undermines the legitimacy and effectiveness of these institutions.
		Asian countries are accumulating huge amounts of currency reserves, giving them the potential to do without loans from the IMF - where the United States, as the largest shareholder and the world's largest economy, has managed to pass conditions and economic policies favorable to its interests.
