摘要
全球经济复苏的重要关系存在于美中之间。同样,二者之间关系的任何严重恶化都可能把世界推向另一次大萧条。中国公民为美国信贷消费繁荣提供资金,换言之。中国政府大量购买美国国库券,使美国当前能维持巨额账户赤字。如果中国不这样做,美元价值就会暴跌,席卷全球的激烈贸易战就可能发生。
The key relationship for any global recovery is between the US and China. By the same token^1, any serious deterioration^2 in their relationship would propel^3 the world towards a second Great Depression. The Chinese citizen has funded the credit-driven American consumer boom: or, to put it another way, China's government has enabled the US to run an enormous current account deficit^4 by buying huge quantities of US treasury bills. If China stops this, the value of the US dollar would plunge^5, and a bitter trade war, engulfing the rest of the world, would ensue^6.
