But the more rapidly changing East has faced greater challenges. Problems and achievements, the sweet and the bitter, have been mixed together like the coffee, cream, and sugar in a cup of instant coffee, and the boiling water poured on top has produced a fragrant but scalding concoction.
腳步愈大、成長愈快的東方國家，面臨的挑戰因而也愈大；成就與問題就好比速泡咖啡包中的糖、奶精和咖啡，甜的苦的混在一起，分也分不開，開水又急又快地沖下，聞到香味時，也燙了手。
