...futures: rosy and grim. Indian companies will buy more foreign businesses, and more Indian children will starve. In economic terms, India has become neither the U.S. nor Sudan, but something in between - a Latin American republic with an entrenched class chasm. Higher levels of crime and social unrest are almost certain to follow. For years or decades to come, we will not be able to talk of one destiny for all the people of the country...
...Ukrainian-born musician, actor and sometime philosopher has been performing almost all of his life, but the past year has taken his street-recognition factor to a new level.

...wouldn't worry about that at all. Almost every country in the world welcomes mainland tourists. It is a golden opportunity for Taiwan not just to make money but to also to establish more friendships with mainland people. The education ministry has also decided to recognize mainland diplomas and many mainland students will come to Taiwan to study. And that is also my policy. I want to make young people of the two sides have an opportunity to get to know each other at a relatively early stage of their lives. This is the best way for mutual understanding...
