Write off financially troubled Asia? Not if you're Goran Lindahl, CEO of ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd. or John F. Welch Jr., General Electric Co.'s CEO.

GE's Welch, in this year's letter to shareholders, states: "Today, we are determined, and poised, to do the same thing in Asia we have done in the United States, Europe and Mexico: invest in the future."
