Ju-chang's "Solution" to SEA's Financial Crisis

[Stephen E Philion]

How do we get from "Is the GDP scientific?" to "The solution to Russia's
crisis is more free markets"? I have no problem with discussing what
Ju-chang has written, that's why I posted what he wrote. Let's just be
honest about what he has written and not hide from it because he is from
China or because he has 'language problems', when what he writes in
English is the same ideological content as what would appear in his
Chinese writing. God, I'm experiencing language problems myself from the
looks of that last sentence...
