Asian tigers are losing their growl. Economic growth is evaporating, jobs are disappearing and the continent is home to some of the world’s most unpopular leaders. The latest figures only highlight this fall from grace. China, the world’s third-biggest economy, grew at half its 2007 rate in the fourth quarter of last year, a “mere” 6.8 per cent. South Korean output, meanwhile, shrank by 3.4 per cent over the same period. Singapore believes its economy could contract by 5 per cent this year.
