Article Abstract:

The International Monetary Fund perceived that the ten south East Asian members of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) together with Japanese and Chinese politicians would consider establishing regional structures to minimize, economic and financial shocks for a dynamic and integrated East Asia. The momentum of Chinese growth and direct investments has revived the stagnant hi-tech sectors of north east Asia and the resource based economies of the southeast.
