...lies a critical challenge for Asia. Unless it comes up with a new source of demand to support its export-led growth model, Asia will face stiff and enduring headwinds. Nowhere is this more evident than in China, where the mood has turned particularly upbeat. While I no longer doubt that China's performance will be better than expected in 2009, there is good reason to be wary of extrapolation.

Even among moderate Israelis, there is a doubt about Obama's intentions. "His middle name, Hussein, keeps coming back to me. We're suspicious of him," says Yossi Danon, a high-tech expert. "Obama's entitled to change U.S. policy in the region - this is too much for Israel." (See Cairo getting ready for Obama...
