Note: Zambian long-time opposition leader Michael Sata took office on Sept 23 (a few hours after he was declared a winner in an election held Sept 20), after the incumbent president Rupiah Banda tearfully conceded in a televised speech. Investment from China was a hot topic in the campaigns leading to the election.

("The US Senate on Thursday defeated an effort to force President Barack Obama to sell Taiwan some 66 F-16 fighter jets instead of upgrading the island's existing fleet of combat aircraft. Senators voted 48-48 on a proposal by Republican Senator John Cornyn * * * Under Senate rules for the bill, 60 votes were required for approval")

My comment: There is no need to read the rest, which did not explain why 60 votes were needed, for instance.

My comment:
(a) This IMF report merely confirms the estimation of CIA World Factbook (2011) released in January, 2011 (the Factbook placed Taiwan ahead of Germany, however, by a margin of ~$2,000).
