如果想抓住这些亚洲市场机会的话，西方必须再度开始在发明，创新和技术等方面超越其他地区。 事实上，除非西方大规模扩张其在工程，科学和新技术上的资本投资，否则就将被那些政府大力支持创新者的国家边缘化。
The West must again begin to out-invent, out-innovate, and out-skill the rest of the world if it is to seize the opportunities that Asia presents. Indeed, unless the West significantly expands its capital investment in engineering, science, and new technologies, it will be marginalized by countries whose governments back their innovators with hard cash.
