Bicyclists must not ride between two lanes of traffic moving in the same

“百人会”究竟是什么东东？据资料显示，“百人会”被认为是美国最有影响力的华人

美国首位华裔州长及前商务部部长骆家辉、雅虎网站创办人杨致远、前谷歌全球副总裁

发帖数: 70028 | 32 二十一世纪正见证着亚洲逐步回到其历史上曾经在经济和人口方面所占据的地位。在1800年，亚洲的人口和生产总值占超过全球的一半。但在100年后的 1900年，其生产总值萎缩到仅占全世界的20%——这可不是因为什么天灾人祸，而是当时的工业革命已经使欧洲和北美两地摇身一变，成为了世界工厂。
亚洲的复苏始于日本，随后延伸到韩国，再到以新加坡和马来西亚为首的东南亚地区。如今，这场复苏正聚焦于中国，并日益包括印度，复苏过程让数以亿计的人得以摆脱贫困。
然而，这一转变也引发了国家间实力对比发生变化的忧虑。去年，中国超越日本成为世界第二大经济体。高盛（Goldman Sachs）预计，中国的经济总量将在2027年超越美国。
但即便中国的国内生产总值（GDP）能在2020年代赶上美国，这两大经济体在内部经济结构上依然不尽相同。中国还是会拥有落后的广大农村地区。假设在 2030年后，中国的GDP年增长率达到了6%而美国只有2%，中国的人均收入也无法与美国并驾齐驱——这一指标能更好地反映经济的成熟度——情况要到 21世纪下半叶才会有所改变。

另外，事情发生之后，印度为此事的说词前后变化了很多次，开始说是中印间有争议的领土，后来又说是替不丹出头。这说明什么呢？说明其实印度做这个事情并不象是一个有详细计划的行动。也就是说他们做这个事情很可能是临时而为，并另有所图。要搞清楚另有所图的是什么，那就得看他们做事情的前因后果。要明白印度为什么要在洞朗与中国对峙，必须得充分理解印度的思维方式，以及国际大环境和中印之间关系的小环境是怎么变化的。
