NEW YORK, June 29, 2012 — This is the fifth in a series of exclusive video interviews with veteran journalist Dan Rather, former anchor of CBS Evening News, who visited Asia Society Studios in New York City in late June. Rather, 80, currently hosts the investigative news magazine Dan Rather Reports [Facebook | Twitter], which airs on AXS TV. Rather's memoir, Rather Outspoken: My Life in the News, came out in May.
In the segment embedded above, Rather discusses the biggest changes that have occured in Asia during his time covering the region. "If you had told me," Rather said, "as late as the 1980s, that China's economic growth would be what it has become, I would've said, 'I don't think you know Asia very well, or perhaps you're smoking something very expensive.' It caught me by surprise, and the same with India."

The logic here is simple, where East Asians (exclude southeast Asians) have dominated the population, the economy thrives if it's under market economy.
Singapore (75% Chinese), South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong (Chinese), Taiwan(Chinese), Macau (Chinese, by the way, the economy is now the 4th richest in the world, richer than Switzerland)
China will be there.
One of the KEY reason of China's rise is its unique political system, coined by Professor Daniel Bell as "Vertical Democratic Meritocracy". It is a far superior political system when compared to western style democracy because only the most capable leaders can climb to the top position through decades of training and practicing, when in any western style democracy, "anyone can become the president". Due to this solid foundation of many highly capable public servants occupying all the key public offices, the Chinese government can make decade long term plannings and can execute them all without hinderance, hence the amazing rise to power in such a short time. By the way, there is no lack of freedom in China either. Visit China, and you will find out for yourself.
The U.S. borrowed heavily from China when Paul Wolfowitz planned the war to invade Iraq, a long and distant war that cost billions of the U.S. ! That was the beginning the U.S. borrowed a lot of money from China to finance the war in Iraq ! George Wu, A.I.A. 2014-1-3
The Westerners always estimate India would do the same as China. They are totally wrong because they neglect the political efficiency of them. India will never catch up China with its social system even an African country will do better than India in the future.
China needs to avoid the same mistakes of past world powers, and that is, don't be a world power. Trying to maintain your will across the various states around this world will only lead to your demise. The Spaniards tried it, the British tried it, the Americans are barely holding on to it. China's smartest move is to avoid altogether forcing it's will, but instead, follow a path where it maintains good relations with all countries and takes non partisan/non allied judgements on world conflicts. If China wins the hearts and minds of the world, it'll have a easier time being the head of it.
China's leaders have announced openly in several international conventions & conferences that China does not plan to be the dominant superpower by military might in the future. But China will definitely equipped herself with very strong defensive strength for good, solid reasons. Watch this great video at --
* Youtube ( Hirohito & Asia's Stolen Treasures ) a top secret involved with 100 billion in 1945.
It is the most revealing video about WW 2 history.
the USA has committed Suicide. China is using our American money to rule the world, and Rise as a power, all of our money has gone to support china. we are in debt to them and consume their products, we are debtors and consumers, and they are world creditors and producers. our government and banks has done this to us. our democracy has failed the American people. so we are now big losers, an illegal immigrant nation in debt to china? how can we survive? it is too late.
It is proven throughout history Chinese are the most productive people in the world, China had 55% of the world's GDP back in the Han dynasty which was over 2000 years ago, and again China had the biggest GDP 18 of the last 20 centuries. China will always be there, Chinese people had proven over and over again are re-silent.
WHITES ALWAYS UNDERESTIMATE ASIANS. ITS ETERNAL ENEMY. EUROPEANS THOUGHT THE SAME ABOUT CHINGGIS KHAN AS WELL WHEN THEY WERE SMALL TRIBESMEN. NEVER THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE A WORLD EMPIRE AND SUPERPOWER BACK THEN. ARROGANCE AND OVERCONFIDENCE IS WHITE PEOPLE'S ACHILLES HEEL. STILL TODAY WITH DONALD TRUMP AND HIS BARKING. ASIANS WILL NEVER BE GLOBAL SLAVES ONCE THEY GOT RID OF THE MONARCH EMPERORS AND BECAME A REPUBLIC AND NOW RAPIDLY DEVELOPING IT. SUCK IT WHITE PEOPLE. YOU THE DUMB ONES FOR THINKING ASIANS ARE WEAK. BUT NOW, YOU ADMIT AND SHOW SOME RESPECT. NO MORE RAPING OF ASIA'S RESOURCES MEANS IN THE NEXT 100 YEARS, ASIA WILL BE FOR ASIANS AND YOUR TIME IN HISTORY AS AN EMPIRE HEGEMONE OVER THE GLOBE WILL BE A MEMORY.
I agree with Rather on China. It is an organized, disciplined, technologically advanced, militarily strong industrial power. Everything in my office is from there.
However, India. Not in the same level. Completely opposite China- except in population. That's the only reason it gets mentioned with China.
it is willed by God, seen it some years ago. it take the leap of technologies, to eclipse the mistakes that were made by the greedy wall streeters in gutting the American economy for profit, to spare America from plummeting into oblivion, the strategy of oil over abundance was employed,
but it also benefited the Chinese and the indians, while rusia, Venezuela, and others that are not
astute in planning a diversified economy stumbled. A concerted
effort must be made to mobilize
industrial production at peak efficiency, and technical strides made to restructure and manipulate the energy matrix,
through innovation of cheaper
energy resources. it's retribution from on high, be vigilant night and day. have food and water, fast and pray, wake up your spirit man, repent. I have I not given you all the " tools ".
One of the important factor of their success is that they don't have off the ground people like the western world's lefty and libtard. There is no empty words in the real business world.
