The growth in the region differs from that in other countries in several respects. First, East Asian countries have grown in a sequential manner. Japan was first to achieve dramatic growth, in the 1950s and 1960s, followed by the newly industrializing economies in the 1970s, some early-developing Southeast Asian countries in the mid-1980s, and China in the 1990s. Second, East Asia has accumulated capital for accelerated growth, pursued industrialization, and advanced into overseas markets. Even though East Asia, a monsoon region, was until the 1960s heavily dependent on agriculture, the countries there transformed themselves rapidly into global production bases. Third, East Asian governments have played a pivotal role, developing their economies through various policies that have been both practical and flexible. Behind these policies have stood the goals of improving market functions and increasing competitiveness.1 With the dramatic growth in East Asian economies, the region’s economic 1 The World Bank describes the East Asian approach to rapid economic growth as functional. High- performing Asian economies have used a variety of policies to achieve accumulation, allocation, and productivity growth. Stable macroeconomic management, human-resource development, limited price distortion, and acquisition of foreign technology have provided the basis for growth. Careful policy intervention, including financial controls (lower real interest rates), support of selected industries, and nonconventional trade policy to strengthen exports, has been used to achieve the integration and adjustment of economies. East Asian countries have, in other words, coordinated competitiveness with government intervention. Such policies have in turn contributed to sustainable rapid growth and a fair distribution of income, as well as accumulation, allocation, and productivity growth. (World Bank, The East Asian Miracle: Economic Growth and Public Policy, New York, Oxford University Press, 1993.) 1 Growth Pattern of East Asian Economies 11 structure has also changed rapidly. The agriculture industries of East Asian countries have shrunken, while urban sectors have grown and other industries have expanded. Since a disguised unemployment rate has decreased in rural areas, the income discrepancy between rural and urban areas have narrowed, and the benefits of growth have been distributed relatively fairly. In other words, quality of life has improved drastically in East Asia in a short time span. According to the headcount index, which identifies the percentage of a population living below the poverty line,2 in 1975 around 60% of East Asian population lived on the same amount of money. In 1995, however, only two of every ten people lived on less than one dollar per day. Thanks to income growth and improvements in medical services, life expectancy has also increased in the region. While Indonesians born in 1970 have an average life expectancy of 47.9, those born in 1995 a life expectancy fully 15 years longer. The rapidly growing economies of East Asia faced a crisis in 1997 and 1998. East Asian currencies depreciated drastically against the US dollar, and most East Asian countries saw their economies fail to grow during these two years, though China and Hong Kong were spared the devastation because they had pegged their currencies to the US dollar. Between 1996 and 2000, the economic growth rate of all East Asian countries except the Philippines was lower than that between 1990 and 1995. Only Taiwan, Malaysia, and China recorded more than 5% annual economic growth from 1996 to 2000; the growth rate in Thailand and Indonesia stayed at around 1% during the same period. The East Asian economies have not recovered their pre-crisis momentum. Though Southeast Asian countries witnessed a mild economic recovery in 2003, they remained dissatisfied with their growth rates, which were much lower than that between 1990 and 1995. While it may be premature to say that the countries of East Asia have left the currency crisis behind, it is clear they have survived it, and that their economies have at least stabilized. Japan’s economy has recovered dramatically since 2003. As for NIEs, despite lower economic growth rates, their foreign exchange market has 2 The poverty line is based on the 1985 purchasing power parity of US$1. People who live on less than US$1 per day are defined as living below the poverty line. 12 CHAPTER I Introduction: Purpose and Overview Table 1-1 Growth Rates of East Asian Countries (Unit: %) 1960-69 1970-79 1980-89 1990-95 1996-2000 2001 2002 2003 Japan 10.5 5.1 4.0 2.1 1.4 0.4 -0.3 2.4 Korea 7.6 9.3 7.8 7.8 4.6 3.8 7.0 3.1 China - 9.6 9.5 10.7 8.2 7.3 8.0 9.4 Taiwan 9.1 10.2 8.1 6.4 5.7 -2.2 3.6 3.2 Hong Kong 8.7 8.9 7.3 5.0 3.2 0.5 1.9 3.2 Singapore 8.7 9.4 7.3 8.6 4.8 -1.9 2.2 1.1 Malaysia - 8.0 5.8 8.9 6.7 0.3 4.2 5.3 Thailand 8.0 7.3 7.3 9.0 0.7 2.1 5.4 6.8 Indonesia 3.0 7.7 5.3 8.0 1.0 3.8 4.3 4.5 Philippines 4.8 6.1 1.9 2.3 4.0 3.0 3.1 4.7 Note: Growth rates are simple average of annual rates.

Southeast Asian countries made their way out of the crisis through financial restructuring measures such as the injection of public funds. Though they have neither fully recovered their growth momentum nor reduced their heavy dependence on foreign markets, some early-developing Southeast Asian countries have also succeeded in stabilizing their economies. Entering the twenty-first century, however, East Asia was confronted by a new and unexpected challenge: the rise of China. China, which has affected East Asia’s economy since the mid-1990s, joined the World Trade Organization in 2001. This landmark event has been called the second opening of China—the first being the opening of the 1970s. In fact, until the nineteenth century, China had been arguably the most advanced country in the world for over 2000 years. Its per capita income was higher than that of Western countries until the twelfth century, and higher than the world’s per capita income until the eighteenth century. It was in China that printing technology and gunpowder were invented and unrivalled shipbuilding skills developed.3 In 1820, China accounted for around 33% of global 3 Carl J.

  • History of Badminton
    Facts and Records History of Badminton In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party at his country house in the village of Badminton, Gloucestershire. A game of Poona was played on that day and became popular among British society’s elite. The new party sport became known as “the Badminton game”. In 1877, the Bath Badminton Club was formed and developed the first official set of rules. The Badminton Association was formed at a meeting in Southsea on 13th September 1893. It was the first National Association in the world and framed the rules for the Association and for the game. The popularity of the sport increased rapidly with 300 clubs being introduced by the 1920’s. Rising to 9,000 shortly after World War Π. The International Badminton Federation (IBF) was formed in 1934 with nine founding members: England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Denmark, Holland, Canada, New Zealand and France and as a consequence the Badminton Association became the Badminton Association of England. From nine founding members, the IBF, now called the Badminton World Federation (BWF), has over 160 member countries. The future of Badminton looks bright. Badminton was officially granted Olympic status in the 1992 Barcelona Games. Indonesia was the dominant force in that first Olympic tournament, winning two golds, a silver and a bronze; the country’s first Olympic medals in its history. More than 1.1 billion people watched the 1992 Olympic Badminton competition on television. Eight years later, and more than a century after introducing Badminton to the world, Britain claimed their first medal in the Olympics when Simon Archer and Jo Goode achieved Mixed Doubles Bronze in Sydney.

  • New Political Economy of East Asia: Korean Perspective
    New Political Economy of East Asia: Korean Perspective Jaymin Lee (Yonsei University) [email protected] Abstract This paper first examines the effects of the rise of Chinese economy on Korean economic development and Korea’s policy to deal with them. The paper then investigates the Korean perception of the problem of emerging economic integration and political conflict in East Asia and Korea’s strategy to cope with the problem. Emphasis is given to comparative historical perspective. I. Introduction With the rise of the China, Korea faces two major (inter-related) challenges: • Finding new development strategy • Finding Korea’s Place in the international political economy II. China Shock and Korea’s Development Strategy Rise of China a mixed blessing for Korea economically. • China now the largest export market (21.8% in 2005, 27.2% if Hong Kong is added), far surpassing the US (14.5%). China the source of the largest trade surplus. • On the other hand, Chinese exports increasingly competing with Korean goods, and Chinese imports pushing up the price of raw materials in the global market. As a result, Korea’s terms of trade deteriorates, and that reduces the growth rate of national income, by as much as 1.4% points on average from 1996 to 2005 (GDP growth rate 4.5%, GNI growth rate 3.1%). • Korea also has to compete ever more intensively with China to induce investment (even by domestic firms), which is no longer confined to investment by smaller firms in labor intensive manufacturing industries. China by far the largest destination of Korean FDI overseas.

  • Lin Dan Vs Lee Chong Wei: Lin 22 Wins with the Longest Winning Streak Four Times in a Row
    Lin Dan vs Lee Chong Wei: Lin 22 wins with the longest winning streak four times in a row In the early morning of March 12 of Beijing time, 2012 All England Open Badminton Championships had started the men's singles finals of the competition, Once again, the final showdown between Lin and Lee had begun. Lin won the opening game with a close score of 21-19. Unfortunately in the second game with Lin leading 6-2, Lee Chong Wei had to retire. Thus Lin claimed the championship this year without further resistance. This is the fifth All England men's singles title won by Lin Dan. He has also made history winning the most All England men's singles gold medals in the last 36 years. Lin and Lee are undoubtedly the most successful and spectacular players in today’s world badminton men’s singles. The fight between them is also known as the "Lin-Lee Wars”; this is not only the indication of the intensity of their fights; it is also a good description of the smell of the gunpowder produced from their countless encounters. So far, they have met a total of 31 times; Lin Dan has a record of 22 wins and 9 losses against Lee Chong Wei, an obvious advantage on the win-loss ratio. The first meeting was at the Thomas Cup in 2004, when Lin Dan won 2-1. They last played against each other at the 2012 South Korea's Super Series, Lin Dan was overturned by his opponent 1-2.

  • Times Are A-Changin'
    TALES COC THE NEWSLETTER OF BWF TECHNICAL OFFICIALS APRIL 2018 EDITION NO. 19 TIMES ARE A-CHANGIN’ By Torsten Berg Chair - BWF Referee Assessment Panel In 1963, we sang with Bob Dylan that “... you better start swimmin’, or you’ll sink like a stone, for the times they are a-changin’...” – and that’s still true today! The BWF Council has put forward rather radical proposals for changes to the Laws of Badminton which would change the scoring system, some of the service laws, and the law covering coaching in intervals, to the Annual General Meeting on 19 May, 2018. We, the technical officials, better start swimming to keep up with these changes, should they be approved, as they will considerably change the sport and how we do our job. We shall soon thereafter be ready with consequential amendments to the ITTO and possibly other BWF Statutes also, and we shall be ready to put the changes into practice on court. The purpose of the proposals seems to be to speed up the sport, shorten the length of matches, and improve the presentation, in particular, at the highest levels. Remember, a Law proposal, even coming from the BWF Council, is not in force until it is approved by the membership at the AGM. Remember too, that often these types of decisions may contain a date of implementation, so that the necessary consequential technical changes can be actioned. Several experienced TOs have lately asked if the proposed changes are already in force. The answer is no – only the AGM can change the Laws.
