P 4351 米中関係:ビル・エモットの評論

Bill Emott /TIMES ONLINE

ビル・エモットは、もとロンドン・エコノミスト編集長。東京支社長も勤めた。
イギリスを代表するメディア タイムズのオンラインで論評している。

In truth, what has changed is that reality is reasserting itself. Perceptions always take time to catch up. The first reality is that America remains the world’s strongest country, in both economic and political terms. This reality is coming back into focus with the American economic recovery: after a recession that was shallower than Europe’s or Japan’s, America’s rebound now looks like being a lot more vigorous, with the latest employment figures suggesting jobs are again being created, in abundance.

The second reality concerns China. While China is certainly a lot stronger and more confident than five, ten or 15 years ago, it remains many years away from feeling insouciant about a real clash with America. Domestic stability is paramount for China’s Communist Party leaders, so if clashing looked to be the price of keeping that stability they would no doubt pay it. But the opposite is likelier, since a clash would cast doubt over a main source of China’s economic progress, namely globalisation amid adherence to the rules set by multilateral bodies, notably the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
