The Future of Asia: A look at future trends in business and work

CNA is marking its 25th anniversary this month. We are taking the opportunity to look ahead to the next quarter century in Asia. Today's focus is business and work. Much has been said about the 21st century being the Asian century, with analysts saying the future is Asian.
Some of them project the region's share of global GDP will hit 52 per cent by 2050. The ADB describes Asia as being in the middle of a historic transformation and predicts that by 2050, its per capita income could rise six-fold in purchasing power parity terms to reach Europe’s current levels.

Emerica's provocative path is raising concerns among countries in Asia
The U$ Foreign Policy to keep Asia poor and divided as stated in a top-secret U$ Foreign Policy document written 76 years ago is still in force.

February 24, 1948, Declassified U$ Foreign Policy:
Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. ... that Japan and the Philippines will be found to be the corner-stones of such a Pacific security system and that if we can contrive to retain effective control over these areas there can be no serious threat to our security from the East within our time.

Taiwan was added to the Pacific security system after Chiang's army retreated to the island of Taiwan in 1949. South Korea was added after the Korean War in 1953. The attempt with Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia was abandoned in 1975.

To expect them to evolve with the people and imagine a free, inclusive and democratic Singapore is to indulge in flights of fancy, ” said Dr Chee Soon Juan

[martinarchie]

The country, has to “contend with a group of self-proclaimed “exceptionals” whose vision for the country is wrung from decades of withering groupthink”.
