Assessing the emergence of China and the impact it has on the Asian region’s growth prospects, Dr. Yueh analyzes trade and the export-led growth model that has propelled Asia into a manufacturing center for the world. The China effect is evaluated in terms of a large, poor, middle-income emerging country in the region as well as with respect to the United States and Europe.
