How much of Asia is in poverty?
Based on the USD 3.20 poverty line, Asia’s poverty rate dropped from 73.6\% in 1965 to less than 10\% in 2014. Using the lower poverty line of USD 1.90, the poverty rate fell from 48.5\% to 2.6\% during this period.
Why is Asia POOR?
The main factors contributing to slow economic growth are poor government planning, internal unrest, the lack of foreign investment, a large trade deficit, and inadequate infrastructure and know-how to take advantage of the country’s natural resources.
Is there a difference between Western and Chinese incommenuity?
There might still be a difference between Chinese and Western traditions with respect to which strains of thought become dominant or at least prevalent, but that difference does not appear to come under the heading of radical incommensurability.
What is the difference between Chinese philosophy and Western philosophy?
Chinese philosophy is “wisdom” literature, composed primarily of stories and sayings designed to move the audience to adopt a way of life or to confirm its adoption of that way of life. Western philosophy is systematic argumentation and theory.
What is the difference between ancient Chinese Analects and Confucianism?
If there is a contrast between the ancient Chinese tradition as represented by the Analects and modern Western traditions, it may be more a matter of the latter being especially focused on matters of distribution of goods by institutions, rather than that interest being entirely absent in the Confucian tradition.
What are some examples of radical incommensurability in ancient China?
Looking for a possible Chinese-Western instance of radical incommensurability, one might go to Daoist texts such as the Daodejing and the Zhuangzi.
