Asia-Pacific To Launch Talks On Giant Free Trade Zone - AFP
PHNOM PENH — Southeast Asian nations will launch talks this week for a giant free trade pact with China, Japan, India and other neighbours aimed at easing the region's reliance on the struggling West.
The planned zone would would span across 16 countries of the Asia-Pacific that currently account for a third of global trade and economic output, making it the biggest free trade area outside the World Trade Organization.
Rajiv Biswas, Asia-Pacific chief economist at IHS Global Insight, described the initiative as "strategically very important to the Asia-Pacific as it would help offset weaknesses in the United States and the European Union".

Japan has been one of the largest economies of Asia since a long time. Bharat and China have also grown up as big economies. Bharat is the 14th and China is the 2nd. largest economies of the world. Malaysia is also a healthy and growing economy.

Pakistan has a great potential to grow as an economic power. The long time political turmoil has been causing heavy damages to our social and economic structures.

Agree with you that apple phone is superior but what about price. Ultimately people decide on "value for money" basis and that is why Sumsung is NO.1.
Rolls royce might have superior cars but Toyota is NO.1 car company and their business model is much more successful.

The Japanese industry evolved on the world horizon with a new industrial concept of manufacturing disposable items. They developed the products which were affordable and conveniently usable. That was how they swept a large part of the global market. Now, China and Bharat are following similar policies.

This may be true, but one can see smart phones by all companies having many things similar, particularly the processors, software etc.
Apple or any other company won't bother as long as someone doesn't become its competitor.

The West supported Bharat to offer competition to China. Well, Bharat grew up very well with the Western support, but the West's mission failed becuase of the unexpected growth rate of China. China left behind not only Bharat but became a challenge to the economic giants like Japan, Germany and America.

Pakistan does not have leaders to make the country an Asian economic super power. I cannot see any leader with vision to take Pakistan forward. They all are insincere, looteray and incompetent.
Can any one tell me a single name of a sincere Pakistani leader?
Despite widespread corruption, India and China have made impressive development.

It is still hard to beat technological supremacy of USA. America bashing is favourite past time of many forum members.

Where are you living my friend, you want us to discuss more than 1000BC concept, which people/groups/countries are using since the early civilizations.
Everybody doesn’t need to produce everything. Go and read “Competitive Advantage Theory”, you will find the answer of your question. In the meantime enjoy below news:
“The Paris-based Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said China's economy will be larger than the combined economies of the eurozone countries by the end of 2012, and will overtake the US by the end of 2016”

As per your statement:
“The Paris-based Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said China's economy will be larger than the combined economies of the eurozone countries by the end of 2012, and will overtake the US by the end of 2016”.
1. Still 70% Chinese and Indian population cannot afford to go overseas.
2. 80% Chinese and Indian population cannot have access to decent healthcare.
3. Pollution in both India and China is 15 times worst than a European city. I have been to Beijing and every second person wears nose mask in that city. I am not sure about Mombay city but I have heard pollution is one of the worst in the world.
Are you planning to move to China?
Would you send your kids to China for higher education?
When would you stop US bashing?Look at the bigger picture; and do not get impressed with few wealthy individuals getting richer and richer. This is the main problem with Asian mentality where people get impressed with the wealth of few individuals.

It's not my statement, this is the prediction of world’s very important Paris based economic cooperation group called "Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)".
You can forward all your facts highlighted in your previous post about China and India to OECD and request them to reverse their statement/prediction.
I am posting news link again for your second look.

There has been very pro-Bharat and anti-China propagandas in the Western media. The West tried to strengthen Bharat against China. No doubt' Bharat grew up as a powerful country in terms of economy and industrial centre. However, China grew up much greater than Bharat.

Thank you. I know it is not your statement but it is over-statement and pure media hype. Ground realities are however different. I have been to China and I can tell you it is gonna take them another 50 years to get where United States is today. You may find fastest numbers of Billionaires in India and China but what about their multi-billion population which is still living in terrible poverty.

Economy is just one of the factor that determines whether a country is a super power or not. It is possible that a country supersedes USA in terms of raw economic power and not be a super power.
The greatest factor that makes a nation a super power is its ability to attract hard working and sharp people from other parts of the world. They give the same opportunities to these people that they give to the natives. In turn these people work their guts out and contribute to the greatness of the nation.
Since the start of the 19th century, the USA is a magnet for people who want to live their dream and make something out for themselves. They are the real reason for its technological dominance.
Lots of people say China is the next super power. Well, its not. Its not even close to the US.
Tell me. Millions of people from China would like to leave it and immigrate to USA and seek opportunities there. Would any one from the US would want to go to China and make it his/her permanent home?

People get attracted for the migration to the countries where natural resources are greater in ratio of population. Japan has been the 2nd. richest country of the world, although, its natural resources are very poor in ratio of the population. China has also grown up on the lines of Japan. China does not have great natural resources in ratio of the population, but the good discipline has transformed it into a rich and developed country.

"What does the United States have to offer Asians?
It is borrowing $600 billion a year from the rest of the world to finance a $1.2 trillion government debt, most prominently from Japan (China has been a net seller of Treasury securities during the past year).
It is a taker of capital rather than a provider of capital.
It is a major import market but rapidly diminishing in relative importance as intra-Asian trade expands far more rapidly than trade with the United States.
And America's strength as an innovator and incubator of entrepreneurs has diminished drastically since the 2008 crisis, no thanks to the Obama administration, which imposed a steep task on start-up businesses in the form of its healthcare program.Washington might want to pivot towards Asia. At Phnom Penh, though, Asian leaders in effect invited Obama to pivot the full 360 degrees and go home."
