News and current affairs

If it does, it will be a transforming event of grand strategy, beside which Desert Storm will seem to be just a temper tantrum of a technocratic adolescent with hi-tech toys.

Moreover, the hi-tech sectors that produce IT, and that typically grow faster than the rest of the economy, are much smaller and less dynamic in Europe than in the US.

For years, forward looking Taiwanese industrialists, including many hi-tech entrepreneurs, urged Chen to de-bureaucratize and de-politicize Taiwan's increasingly isolated economy.

But if finance continues to take a disproportionate number of the best and the brightest, there could be little British manufacturing left by 2050, and even fewer hi-tech firms than today.

Indeed, Taiwanese capital and know-how built much of China's hi-tech industries, and well over a half-million Taiwanese live and work near Shanghai in a virtual replica of Hsin Chu, Taiwan's Silicon Valley.

Governments would do well to heed these complaints (indeed, to engage with them in these hi-tech incarnations of a town-hall meeting), because civil unrest could disrupt the positive momentum, not only in cities, but in the entire global economy.
