Says Richard Holbrooke, who was U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian Affairs when Washington restored full diplomatic relations with China in 1979: "There...

Christopher Weafer, chief strategist at Alfa Bank in Moscow, expresses caution about the energy sector and other areas that could be construed by the Kremlin as being of strategic value. A lack of legal enforcement of ownership rights makes investments in those areas particularly vulnerable. "Putin will have to follow through on his promise to end some of the unsettling actions that are driving capital flight and blocking investment," says Weafer.
