taiwan had that unique opportunity. and its story provides eye-opening lessons for the united states. asia's economies like taiwan, singapore and south korea, skyrocketed out of poverty in the 1980s and '90s. taiwan was growing at 7% to europe, joining the ranks of rich countries in no time. >> the country was getting richer. however, the health care insurance system was not all good at the time. >> a health policy expert at princeton says 41% of taiwan's population had no health insurance in 1995. >> you paid out of pocket. and for the really poor, then, you pray a lot. >> so taiwan's government decided to reform its system of care from the ground up. william shao, a professor of economics at harvard, is one of the world's leading health care gurus. shao had a bold approach. >> we approached experts from all over so we could get their experience for taiwan. >> the panel considered the u.s., its close geopolitical ally as a model for health care. they were not impressed. >> you can learn what not to do from the united s

after some discussion we agreed to send two carrier battle groups to taiwan. within an hour the president had approved our recommendation and before the day was over, though carrier battle groups were underway steaming to taiwan. at a press conference the next day, i was asked would i not fear this would lead to military clash with china. i said, i was not concerned of that. and when asked why, i said, i think, well, because we have the best damn navy in the world. this was not an extravagant or hyper bolic statement t. was simply a statement of fact. it was a fact that not only i knew. it was a fact which other nations understood. even one carrier battle group had more military fire power than any other nation's entire navy, and we had two of them on the way to taiwan. so, i was confident that no one was going to challenge the fleet that we were sending there. this -- and in fact, they did not challenge it even before our two carrier battle ships arrived in taiwan, the crisis was over and the maneuvers had been subsided. this positive result was possible beca

japan is very dependent on exports as well as taiwan and taiwan has helped build up the chinese economy. they have fangries and businesses in china -- factories and business in china. >> i think naturally some of the leading industrialists in chinese are taiwanese. >> many in taiwan are very proud of the chinese roots can they're proud of china's military modernization efforts. it has a you know, a negative side to it of course. china is aiming about 1300 short range ballistic missiles at taiwan. and despite better relations over the past four years. >> it's a -- it's a tense piece. let me ask you about washington's refocus on asia, how is that being received in the region by the countries? >> the chinese are obviously unhappy about this sort of talk. the koreans you don't hear much about it from the koreans. we have been reducing force levels there. there have been problems in okinawa. protests against our base and the troops there. we have been moving some folks around. we want to -- it appears we want to go into the philippines again. i don't know how much of a force we want to put i

taiwan and china also claim them. delegates taking part in the meeting are unlikely to touch on the territorial route. they're inspected instead to discuss rules for areas where japan's exclusive economic zone and taiwan's fishing area overlap. talks on fishing rights began in 1996. they have been suspended since 2009 after the two sides failed to narrow their differences. the japanese government bought the senkaku island from a private owner in september. taiwanese parole ships and fishing boats entered japan's territory waters near the islands to protest the purchase. china has been calling on taiwan to join hands to counter japan on this issue. analysts say resuming the fishery talks will enable japan to keep china in check. >>> moves towards democracy in myanmar have created new challenges for people who work along its borders. many ethnic minorities have fled persecution. they found their way across the border into thailand. aid workers say they have been overwhelmed. our chamra man visited a clinic for refugees

taiwan is a reputation. and i think all of us who study what's taking place in china ought to understand its relevance. not that the mainland is destined necessarily to follow it, but to learn more and to be stimulated by it. well, i hope that this is useful, and i look forward to the discussion. [applause] >> thank you, ambassador huntsman, thank you, john thornton and brookings for your exceptional china program. and thanks, of course, to cheng li and colleagues for organizing this really wonderful day of activities. whatever cheng li may have called this event -- and i've actually forgotten what he's called it -- it's, above all, a celebration of wei fong. he's brilliant, he's learned, he's courageous, he's a tenacious person with the soul of a saint in fighting justice, fighting for justice, and at the same time he's a soul of wit who somehow convinces us that fighting for fundamental change in china is a joyful activity. [laughter] but don't be fooled by the twinkle and sparks of wit that flow from him

taiwan and china claim the islands. he visited the town of seoul. they have been sister cities for 17 years. he met with the suao mayor and representatives of the fishing cooperative. >> translator: there are various disputes over the senkaku islands between japan and taiwan. i believe our two communities can resolve the issues one by one. >> he said he hopes to resolve the dispute. fishing boats from su eered japanese waters off the islands in september. they're protesting japan's decision to national lies the islands. official from japan and taiwan began talks on fishing in the area 16 years ago. the talks have been suspended for more than three and a half years. people in northern japan are dealing with stormy weather, strong gusts are causing disruptions there. maya shoji explains. >> northern japan and the western flank of japan are dealing with rough weather. they're being hammer the with strong gusts and lots of precipitation over much of the country and down towards kumamoto we found gusts of 80 kilometers per hour that has been reported in

htc in taiwan was a major outperformer. at 241 new taiwan dollars. and this is because it announced a global patent settlement and a ten year licensing contract with apple. this is significant because this is the first company the taiwanese company that apple filed suit against. and while it's a good sign in the smartphone patent wars, we know that there's much more at stake between apple and samsung. so analysts say don't hold your breath too much. these wars are far from over. >> i think you're right. dee, thanks for that. just over an hour and a quarter into trading. weighted to the down side, a little bit more than 6:4 at the moment. last week losses 1.68% for the foot city, cac well over 2%. ftse up 7, ex-have a dax down 11. ibex down three quarterses of a percent, as well. there are a couple of stocks worth looking at this morning. here we go. bank popular up 5.25%, sas up 2.6%. averting the need for the bank to seek aid. growth in sales in oblgt. advertising demand bouncing back. as far as bond markets are concerned, u.s. bond market is closed

flag in my front yard, but that doesn't make me capable of invading taiwan, you know?there was a sophisticated strategy that spent a quarter million dollars that recruited suicide bombers or hijackers from all over the world, transported them to the united states, got them flight training, steered them all on to those aircraft at the precisely coordinated times. that was one of the most extraordinarily sophisticated terrorist operations in history. that organization is all but dead in my opinion, and not just my opinion. i think, in fact, it was all but dead when bin laden was killed, but i think the death of bin laden was a capstone on that effort. frankly, it's one of the reasons i called the book "the finish" because the strategy is finished, and this is the finished piece of it, but also because i think this was the finish to that al-qaeda. the problem of terrorism is never going to go away, but unless we fall asleep at the switch, these kind of organizations are -- there's fewer of them today than ten years allege. >> there was an interesting editorial written rec
