Economic profile of some major Asian countries

As an international management student during my graduate study, I have done some research on some major Asian countries. I would like to share my research with those who are interested in knowing more about Asia.

Asian countries have been experiencing strong economic growth in the past few years. Recent events such as SARS and avian flu had negatively affected the tourism and hotel industry in the region, but China, Macau, and Singapore were quick in responding to the threat and restoring visitors' confidence successfully. The following are some economic indicators of the three countries:
