From the WSJ

林毅夫將成為下任World Bank Chief Economist, WSJ作了以下說明:
He was born in Taiwan and earned a master's in business administration from National Chengchi University in Taipei in 1978, the year that mainland China began its market-opening overhauls.
The next year, Mr. Lin, then serving as an officer in the Taiwan army, left for rival China. Numerous published accounts over the years have said Mr. Lin defected by swimming to China from the Taiwan-controlled island of Quemoy, also called Kinmen. Mr. Lin went on to study at Peking University, China's top university. He earned a doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago in 1986, becoming one of the first students from China to complete such a degree in the U.S. during the reform era.

如果他選擇留在台灣, 不知會有什麼樣的發展?
