基督教佛教兴起对欧亚地区竞争力的影响(之四)——东西方新千年地区竞争力再评估——以美国兴衰为例

Impact of the Rise of Christianity and Buddhism to Eurasia Competitiveness( Part Ⅳ)——Re-evaluation of the Eastern and Western Regional Competitiveness in the New Millennium: Taking the USA for Example

地区竞争力本质上是体系竞争力。本文以纪元初基督教和佛教在欧亚并行兴起为视角,比较研究东西方两大体系这段以千年为刻度的此消彼长的历史,并以地区竞争力作为比较参数。作者认为:东西方地区竞争力具有千年一轮回的特点,在这个新千年伊始,西方将再陷入"两个中心为患"的困境,美国衰落已成必然。同时预言,"落后的欧洲和先进的亚洲"是同样不可避免的。

The regional competitiveness is essentially a kind of system competitiveness. This article will be published in installments. Using the regional competitiveness as comparative parameters, this paper chooses the perspective of the parallel rise of Christianity and Buddhism in the early Christian and Eurasian era, and compares European and Asian system during the millennium scale history of this elimination. The author suggests the eastern and western regional competitiveness have the characteristic of one thousand year cycle. At the beginning of new millennium, the western world would fall in to the dilemma of ＂suffering due to two centers＂, and the decline of USA has become inevitable. At the same time, the author predicts an ad- vanced Asia and a backward Europe are also inevitable.
