	Which Pacific Century? by Daniel Lian - The Globalist > > Global Economy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Ever since cross-Pacific trade overtook cross-Atlantic trade in the 1970s, it was right to predict a “Pacific Century.” What has been changing, however, are the forecasts about which country in the region would be the economic leader of such a Pacific Century, says Daniel Lian — Chief Economist of Morgan Stanley for Southeast Asia.
		The logic was impeccable: Since Japan has the highest per capita income and occupies the highest value chains in Asia, those “trailing geese” merely needed to trade with Japan — and the West, of course — and embrace manufacturing outsourcing to climb the value chains and raise their standards of living.
		Contrasting sharply to the “happy for all” Japan-centric Pacific Century, a China-centric Pacific Century would entail a great deal of pain for the rest of Asia.
