Government and Economics

The economy of East Asia is one of the most successful regional economies of the world.[1] It is
home of some of the world's largest and most prosperous economies : China, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea.
Major positive factors have ranged from favorable political-legal
environments for industry and commerce, through abundant natural resources of
various kinds, to plentiful supplies of relatively low-cost, skilled and
adaptable labor.
In modern societies, a high level of structural differentiation, functional specialization, and autonomy of the economic system from government is a major contributor to industrial-commercial growth and prosperity. Currently in the Far East, trading systems are relatively open; and zero or low duties on
imports of consumer and capital goods etc. have considerably helped stimulate cost-efficiency and change.
Free and flexible labor and other markets are other important factors making for high levels of business-economic performance.
East Asian populations have demonstrated rapid learning capabilities – skills in utilizing new technologies and scientific discoveries – and putting them to
good use in production. Work ethics in general tend to be highly positive.
Finally, there are relatively large and fast-growing markets for consumer goods and services of all kinds
