| 第1题：In his latest book， Lee Kuan Yew fearlessly expresses his ideas， seeking "to be correct， not politically correct." Lee also recounts his impressions of nations， leaders and historic events. In acerbic Lee Kuan Yew style， he describes Margaret Thatcher， Ronald Reagan， China‘s poetry-quoting Jiang Zemin， the late Mao Zedong， the incorruptible Zhu Rongji to the bold reformer Deng Xiaoping （whom he remembers as "a five-footer but a giant among men"）。 Among the most interesting parts of the book were Lee Kuan Yew‘s references to the Philippines and his sadness that our talented nation could suffer so many socio-political and economic troubles. An anecdote recounts the 1985 official trip to Washington， DC where State Secretary George Shultz asked Lee to convince President Ronald Reagan that his old friend Ferdinand Marcos was then the problem of the Philippines， not the solution. During the uprising the following year 1986， when the U.S. government asked Lee‘s opinions， he said America should not accept a fraudulent election， and put pressure on Marcos to call new elections. |

| 第3题：An actual recession in the euro area earlier this year， when America first sneezed， the European Central Bank （along with most private-sector economists） argued that the euro area was insulated from America‘s slowdown and had little to worry about. This seems to have been wrong. In Germany there are fears about recession as business investment and retail sales tumble. Recent figures confirmed that Germany‘s GDP stagnated in the second quarter. Italy‘s GDP fell in the second quarter， and although growth has held up better in France and Spain， the growth in the euro area as a whole was close to zero in the quarter. Nobody is forecasting an actual recession in the euro area this year， but it is no longer expected to provide an engine for world growth. As for Japan， it is probably already in recession. Japan‘s GDP grew slightly in the first quarter. Persistent deflation continues to be a severe problem. A revised measure of Japan‘s consumer-price index， to be published soon， is likely to show that deflation is worse than had been thought. |

| 第4题：The China boom is by now a well-documented phenomenon. Who hasn‘t heard of the Middle Kingdom‘s astounding economic growth （8 percent annually）， its mesmerizing consumer market （1.2 billion people）， the investment ardor of foreign suitors （$40 billion in foreign direct investment last year alone）？ China is an economic juggernaut. According to Nicholas Lardy of the Brookings Institution， a Washington D.C.-based think tank， "No country has expanded its foreign trade as fast as China over the last 20 years. Japan doubled its foreign trade over a 20-year period； China‘s foreign trade as quintupled. They‘ve become the pre-eminent producer of labor-intensive manufacturing goods in the world." But there‘s been something missing from the dazzling China growth story-namely， the Chinese multinational. No major Chinese companies have yet established themselves， or their brands， on the global stage. But as Haier shows， that is starting to change. After 100 years of poverty and chaos， of being overshadowed by foreign countries and multinationals， Chinese industrial companies are starting to make a mark on the world. |
