Description
Asia is at a crossroad in 2000 with their recent economic crisis having made their rapid growth perhaps untenable. This region acts as a global investment hub as the massive labor force and low standards of living and prosperity make the region optimal for manufacturing growth and outsourcing. The rise of China and the potential of India to become a great power makes their future as fascinating as it is uncertain. Japan too seeks to regain its former economic power as it struggles under its massive debt and interest rate problems. The growing interest in the west economically and politically make it a potential battle ground as old and new powers alike seek to develop their influence in the region. Will Asia build itself up and remain sovereign or will its members simply enter into the existing spheres of western powers? You will decide.
