Directions: In the following question, four statements are provided. These statements form a coherent paragraph when properly arranged. Select the alternative representing the proper and logical sequencing of these statements.
A. One estimate, which strikes me as exaggerated, states that 90 per cent of these companies are controlled by ethnic Chinese.
B. The majority of companies listed on the Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian and Philippine stock exchanges are controlled by ethnic Chinese (this is also true in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, but these are majority Chinese communities).
C. Even if this is not the case and, say, is exaggerated by a third, it still represents an enormous disparity between the actual size of Chinese populations and the economic influence they wield.
D. However, Chinese influence is not confined to big business: it is even more noticeable among the smaller and medium-sized enterprises that make up the bulk of Asian companies.
