2. 过去二十多年间，我一直在写关于亚洲崛起及其推动力量的文章。东亚各国领导人之间有一个了不起的共识：亚洲需要利用当前的机会之窗，把重点放在经济发展和增长上。战争是发展的最大阻碍。如果亚洲人真的愚蠢，他们或会卷入这样的战争，破坏自己巨大的发展前景。大多数亚洲国家（除了朝鲜）的领导人，都很明白战争的危险。因此，虽然这一地区会出现局势紧张和对抗，但无论在2014年还是2015年都不会爆发战争。随着2015年缓缓展开，我想鼓励所有西方学者根据亚洲本身的情况理解亚洲的根本发展动力，而非将理解建立在西方先入之见的基础上。

1. 简言之，无叶风扇就是没有叶片的风扇。它的工作原理是先将空气吸入风扇基座内部，然后通过扇头环形上的洞将空气吹出。这款风扇据说是詹姆斯·戴森发明的，并命名为"气流倍增器"。就像可以飞行的喷气背包一样，无叶风扇被《时代周刊》评为"2009年度伟大发明"之一，同样它也不是世界上第一个无叶风扇。实际上，第一个无叶风扇于1981年被日本的东京芝区电力公司获得专利。尽管东京芝区电力公司的无叶风扇并没有用于生产制造，但詹姆斯的无叶风扇的原始设计与其设计相似，所以专利局拒绝授予詹姆斯这个专利。尽管授予东京芝区电力公司的专利已经过期，但在授予詹姆斯这项新专利之前，专利局需要他提供该设计的创新之处。詹姆斯的经理吉尔·斯密斯并没有否认这两种无叶风扇间的相似性，只是说两者间的差异在于所用"科技"不同。
