Paraphrasing (10th paragraph)

Text

With Sweden and Finland riding the wave of Internet development to similar gains in integration with the rest of the world, the current globalization rankings may well be in flux. Singapore could slip from the lead in the coming years, as countries that are better positioned to benefit from global communications technologies or that are more aggressive about reforms to attract foreign trade and investment develop stronger ties with their neighbors.

The main idea of the paragraph

The current globalization rankings may well be in flux: some countries may move forward and some could slip from the lead, depending on whether they can benefit from global communications technology or on whether they are aggressive about reforms to attract foreign trade and investment.

目前全球化的排名是很具流动性的,有些国家可能会往前移,有些国家可能会往后哧溜,这取决于他们是否能得益于全球通信技术或取决于他们是否锐意改革以促进贸易和吸引投资。
