Imports have risen sharply in these countries both to lay the base for the export growth, and because the economies of East Asia have become increasingly open and internationally oriented.  In the process, the OECD economies have benefitted from this export growth.  Consequently, any measures which impede East Asia exports will, at an aggregate level, harm both groups of economies.  c3/7/00kM2LMGR  cA  c44732d44732
