Erratum to: Chapter 1 in: J. West, Asian Century… on a Knife-edge, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-7182-9_1
In page 1, paragraph 1, line 1 has been changed as “Asia, the continent just across the Pacific Ocean from the US, has been pushed into uncharted waters with the election of Donald Trump to the presidency of the US.”
In page 8, paragraph 1, line 5 has been changed as “But despite the hype of Asia’s economic miracle, the harsh reality of our assessment in Chap. 2 is that Asia is suffering from stunted economic development.”
In page 9, paragraph 2, line 9 has been changed as “And there are factors other than raw money which are also holding Asians back from joining the middle class, as we examine in Chap. 3: the vulnerability and precarity of informal/non-regular employment; deprivations like the lack of clean drinking water, inadequate health facilities and sanitation (i.e., clean, safe and hygienic toilets); the impact of Asia’s all-too-frequent natural disasters; poor access to education and the Internet; and above all, Asia’s appalling human rights.”
