End of the tech obsession isn't all that bad for Asia

Article Abstract:

Rising corporate and consumer debt in America ($4.62 trillion and $6.7 trillion respectively) and a trade deficit of $34.3 billion as of September, 2000 may necessitate interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve Board. Previously neglected Asian markets are likely to benefit as investors look away from collapsing technology stocks and toward emerging markets.

China and Japan, two economic giants, are the biggest threats to Asia's fragile recovery

Article Abstract:

China and Japan have been the biggest obstacles to the economic recovery in Asia. The stock markets in both countries failed to cope up with the Asian rally despite interest-rate cuts. Their policies for countering deflation have not stimulated growth and have even contributed to their economic problems. Moreover, these policies present a risk of reversing the growth trend in Asia and could even lead to the recurrence of the Asian crisis.
