Is there bias in the reporting on Asia?

IS there bias in the reporting on Asia? Is there bias in the way the International Monetary Fund (IMF) treats the emerging economies compared with the developed ones? Is there bias in the ratings from the Western rating agencies on the Western and non-Western economies?

Given the current US-led financial crisis, these are valid questions to raise and Asians need to address them effectively. If not, the rest of the world will forever be coupled to the US economy.
