Painful Smart-Talk #2

He was making sense until halfway through this rather lengthy sentence:

"While fragmentation is occurring in the Western-dominated sector of the world, in East Asia, primarily China, but also in parts of South-east Asia, the cosmopolitan is in a weak position with respect to nationalist and regionalist discourses, the establishment of larger geographical units, an intensive focus on development and a new Asian modernism, the extinction or integration, by assimilation, segmentation, rather than autonimization of indigenous minorities."

Eh?
