Reproducing East Asian economic miracle Context:
Since the 1960s, East Asia has been the world's fastest growing region economically. Japan, the "tiger economies" of South Korea, Taiwan, Hong-Kong and Singapore, and more recently Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, have grown twice as fast as the rest of East Asia, three times as fast as Latin America and South Asia, and five times as fast as sub-Saharan Africa.
