The Four Dragons and Economic Development York W

This is an excerpt from the paper...

Bradshaw and Michael Wallace (95) identified South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong as the ôfour little dragonsö while further characterizing Japan as the quintessential Asian success story and China and Vietnam as awakening economic giants.

Taiwan, with a population of 20.7 million, has a per capita GNP of $10,568 and an infant mortality rate of 6 per 1,000. South Korea is the largest of this group with 43.7 million people and has the lowest per capita GNP at $7,760.
