The rise of asian cool

With all the turmoil in the markets and the downturn in N America, is there a fundamental change underway. Is the balance of economic power moving from N America (as it did from Europe) to Asia.

We should expect other changes, not just economic, such as fashion and trends will move too. Asian design will become trendy, pop music will lead from asia as will design. I think you are already seeing some of
this in car styling.

The demographics, young population and shear weight of numbers make this inevitable.

Watch out for this on the highstreet.
