Greening the Future Japan has allocated $17 billion to help Asian countries with development projects to help stimulate their economies [Jan. 26]. This seemingly altruistic gesture is typical of Japan's long-term focus. They recognize that consumers in the developed countries are not going to resume their past spending patterns any time soon, despite tax cuts and rebates. But if the economies of developing countries can be grown, then their people will eventually become the replacement consumers and will buy goods produced in Japan and other hard-hit manufacturing/exporting countries. This is why it is so important...
...most shovel-ready projects: holes. For example, with China’s increasing prominence in global commerce, Harvard could benefit from having the only hole that would pass through the center of the earth to China.

Vietnam, which like most Asian countries is being hammered by the downturn, is discovering that even the most direct form of stimulus spending - cash giveaways to citizens - can wind up in the wrong hands...
Chief among his alleged Asian possessions is the $5.7 million house purchased last year in this remote development, perched beneath a hilly copse of trees in Hong Kong's verdant New Territories. An agitated guard stationed by JC Castle's iron-gated entrance told TIME there was no such house; she was contradicted by a superior who said its occupants had left strict instructions not to be disturbed by visitors. When two Sunday Times journalists approached the compound to photograph the villa last week, they were reportedly assaulted by three African guards and had to receive medical treatment. This attack...
