First sentence: Since mid-1997, most of the hitherto rapidly expanding economies of East and Southeast Asia have been brought down to different stages of economic recession and crisis; the possible exceptions being Taiwan, which continues to enjoy economic growth, and the People's Republic of China (PRC), which is experiencing an economic slowdown not amounting to recession.
