...this way India is mimicking--and still trailing--Asia's other Goliath: China. Beijing's cadres embraced market reform much earlier than their Indian counterparts did--back in the late 1970s--and have been much more devoted to liberalization. As a result, China's per-capita income, now about $900, has been growing at least twice as fast as India's for the past 20 years. With incomes rising in China, foreign investors found a more sizable market for their wares there than in India. For example, China has 230 million mobile-phone users, India a measly 18 million...

The Chinese have learned some lessons from the former Soviet Union. In the 1980s Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, encouraged by Western assurances, pursued glasnost (openness) before perestroika (restructuring) and saw the Soviet Union split apart in 1991. Like the U.S.S.R., China consists of many cultures and ethnic groups. Chinese leaders have decided, very wisely, to pursue their policies...
...been re-elected six times, and he can probably keep his job as long as he wants. His popularity doubtless owes something to the low crime rate in Austin, the county's biggest city (and state capital). In 2001, according to FBI figures, Austin had the fourth lowest per capita murder rate among U.S. cities with 500,000 to 1 million residents...
