“This is really a simple picture, and yet it explains so much of what Asia is today. It looks at developing Asia as a whole region, from China and India to places in-between, and breaks the overall GDP down into two main shares: the black line is the export share and the red line is the consumption share. . . . The export share has never been higher; and the internal private consumption share has never been lower. This is Asia.” — Stephen Roach
