“why did China boom?” http://www.vimeo.com/20264796 Orville Schell is one of the premiere Western scholars studying China right now, with decades of experience covering China. He has written more than 10 books on China, he speaks fluent Chinese, and has recently been appointed by the Asia Society as the Arthur Ross Director of the Center on US-China Relations in New York City.

At the Asia Society, Schell is currently working on “the China Boom Project,” which seeks to explore the multi-faceted and complicated question “why did China boom?”

Schell has said that while working on this project and another book that he’s currently writing, he’s had to reevaluate his long-term beliefs that the Chinese people are actively seeking for their nation to become more like Western democracies.

Instead, Schell is finding that the Chinese are currently developing their own economic and political theories directly from their highly-controlled, authoritarian society, rather than trying to model them on Western models.

INET is deeply interested in both China’s emerging economic models as well what the country’s breathtaking growth means for the world and the global financial system. In INET’s exclusive interview with Orville Schell, he and Peter Leyden, Director of INET Online, discuss China’s emerging economic paradigm, the necessity of China and the West to work together to tackle global problems like climate change, and how the young generation of Chinese will change the future.

You can watch the whole interview in the main player above, or choose from one of the individual topics on sidebar to the right of the player. We hope you enjoy it – and feel free to spread it around.

Singapore - Smart City making the Smart Choice - a country that is less than 1/4 the size of Kauai  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Republic_of_Singapore founded in 1965, 6 years after Hawaii became the 50th State of the United States. Singapore like Hong Kong took off as one of the key financial centers in Asia, while Hawaii stay put and continuing to fall behind.

The key successes of both Hong Kong and Singapore are both realized and recognized in order for their citizen to have a good life, constant changes must be made with the change of time. Old Chinese Proverb said "The Dead Live in Their Past, The Living Must Live for Their Future" has helped Singapore and Hong Kong to move down the path of successes.

Both Hong Kong and Singapore are continuing drawing their best and smartest of their citizen home to serve the city and country while Hawaii is doing the opposite.

A 20 years old university, The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology founded in 1991, its MBA program rank #1 miles ahead of UH (with more than 100 years of history).  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_University_of_Science_and_Te...

But when the School of Travel Industry Managemnet (TIM) has the best known brand within the UH System - UH Chancellor and President want to terminate it using the 1987 Wall Street movie approach & game plan played by Michael Douglas to destroy it.

With the change of time, Singapore has realized that unless they including gaming (not the bingo as what Hawaii is proposing), the city will not be able to keep up to remain competitive. Singapore is now shooting for the 2ND place after Macau. Macau has overtaken Las Vegas 2 years ago on gaming revenue. When you are to combine Macau and Singapore as the new gaming capital in Asia. Las Vegas may never recovered and returned to the glory of yesteryears.

What is Hawaii doing.........more tax, more fee, less service, less job and continuing to send our best, smartest and most educated Hawaii citizen away while putting a wall to those that want to return home!

It may be time to realized and recognized by Hawaii as well as the University of Hawaii that the PORK may be coming to an end. We may have to earn our keep - work for it - no more free money.

The Marina Bay Sands resort lights up the Singapore waterfront. Visitor numbers to the city-state are up 1.3 million since the first casino resort opened in February last year. Singapore's casino bet pays off in extra visitors, revenue - City-state tipped to be Asia's No 2 gaming centre after Macau. One year after opening its first casino,

In the recent Hollywood movie Wall Street, Chinese investors fund the world's leading green technology. Likewise in reality, China is on track to play a leading role in the green sector, as more Chinese companies in the sector are investing in the United States and creating jobs. http://www.hkchcc.org/hongkong-china.htm
