Great Summary. I really liked this line:

To prevent their currencies from rising against the dollar, Asian countries will buy as many surplus greenbacks as necessary. From year-end 1997 to year-end 2004, China's foreign-exchange reserves (invested heavily in U.S. Treasury securities) rose from $143 billion to $578 billion, South Korea's from $20 billion to $199 billion and Japan's from $220 billion to $834 billion
