the asian economy is not going into a recession.ow prices are good for asia and to causer yen is going a lot of competition. in asia you are not going to expect anything spectacular. >> nothing spectacular. but are you jumping on board to expectingone else spectacular things in china? >> i don't think we are going to see anything major happening in china. yes, it is possible that they will loosen the monetary policy and that further, and going forward it is possible -- the growth in china is slowing down, that i think it wants to see more growth. they know growth is slowing down and they want it keep -- want to keep a close to 7%. valuations in china are not expensive. given the looser monetary policy we are not expecting anything spectacular in china. they had the big bang approach -- i think it will be a bit more moderate. overall i think it will be positive for china. i think it is fair to expected to increase at the same rate has. >> is this predominantly in equities story we are talking about? what about fixed income? what abou

-initiated asian missile defense system. it will collapse because maintain such a big arsenal is so expensive and so costly so i think china will continue to follow up with a limited nuclear deterrent, just don't try to make it small and more efficient. i don't think the issues coming back and laying out some sort of new security line between the both sides. another point made very, very intensely is how to maintain -- the question is we also see some sort of equation about states power and the revisionist of power. to me i think status quo is some sort of evolution then the key criteria on whether or not the status quo change will hurt or undermine the regional security is not how it is. that is how the evolution of change could just build up in a time of the joint efforts and corroboration. for example, in the eyes of chinese u.s. initiative tpp is some sort of status quo change to regional integration. my view is that don't just very statically and rigorously see the china's behavior as status quo change. let me come down

and many of the south asian countries there is no guarantee. so you need access to technology and finance and build up the human capabilities. cross into the united states we see it is very outspoken. so what is the u.s. coal. the first thing to understand is the new investment fund with [inaudible] it was in the early '90s that was more liberalized. but as is the investment in the coal-fired power plants under the market conditions there is a tendency to move to the gas plants and in fact 75% are in the states and it's probably not a coincidence. the rather similar marginal cost this is our estimation from the cost of the regulations on power generation. now even if the administration had the agency that wasn't on the investment in the united states because it is the capital corp. lands and it is the competition to win private investment. the impact of the regulation is much smaller than the impact of cheap gas and this is the difference between the u.s. gas prices and the united states would be in the business of importing the energy and the

competition in most asian countries. that you might have private investment into merchant backed by long-term contracts bid the government or the dominant. more often than not, more than half in the industry. and more often than not, that state of the industry has a previous relationship with banks. now, if this is in a country where the overall conditions are right and the institutions reasonable, let's say malaysia, for example, going to put that into the category. and the malaysia, in a contract like that, they can do pretty much whatever investment they want because they have strong cash flows due to the nature and the access to capital from various sources. now, if you have countries that there is a big subsidy problem, or burning cash or you have an overall functioning financial system so the banks are strong enough on its own. the thing that the number, very large a very large portion of could be mobilized by this country's size or the private sector or by the government, again, if you have which is quite popular

we had a large energy efficiency program in the asian development bank.targeted seven countries, india, china, indonesia, vietnam. bangladesh. but it's very hard for us to help and to get investments in energy efficiency. it makes a lot of financial sense with utilities, with industry, but because of price distortions and electricity sectors, it's very hard to get there. number one on our list is really to work on subsidies and address those and get that. the second part is emissions, co-2 taxation. either a cap and trade system or taxation of co-2. again, it's about getting the prices correct on this, i believe perhaps taxation is much better than the cap and trade system. the cap and trade system tried in europe, tried with cdm. i think taxation, perhaps, is another way of doing it that will send better signals to the market on the -- on what can be done with energy. and then, we talk about sort of the second part is sort of more that we're having with the countries. we're talking about kind of smart cities. and talking about urban growth, and as you kn

asian americans are suing a group -- a group of asian americans are suing harvard university on the groundsbelieve that harvard and presumably other ivy league institutions are maintaining a quota, not allowing more than about 16 or 17% of asians to apply. have you looked at that case? how strong is that case in your view? >> it depends ultimately on the facts. these are allegations but the allegations are powerful. if i think if universities put a quota on any racial group, i think that's going to end up in trouble in terms of where the court is right now and its thinking. constitutional litigation and affirmative action. people say it may have been based on test scores and other facts but i think that's a troubling set of fact. >> the basic fact is even though applications of asian americans have almost tripled i think in the last 20 years, the percentage admitted has been strikingly the same. >> there's where i want to be cautious. allegations are always different from facts. like you said, i did a lot of litigation in my life and i found people often allege things that aren't true. i'm
