问题     美中经济与安全评估委员会星期三出具了一份156页的报告,对中国公司的在美投资做了充满警惕的描述。它宣称来自中国的大型投资给美国制造的经济和安全风险就像“潜在的特洛伊木马”,这样的比喻颇令我们震惊。
    一个简单的反应是:美国在华投资规模要大得多,很多公司同美国政府“关系密切”,按照上述报告提供的逻辑,中国境内现在已经有了多少“潜在的特洛伊木马”呢?
    中国人这些年居然还睡得着觉,中国各地政府仍在积极对外招商引资,他们大概都该立刻警觉起来,抓美国在中国的“特洛伊木马”。
    重要的是,中国没有“美中经济与安全评估委员会”这种专门拆两国经济合作台的机构设置,即使有哪个组织“管闲事”拿出类似的报告,告诉中国人微软和IBM等等都可能是潜在的“颠覆中国”的机构,写这些报告的人一定会在舆论场上被唾沫淹没。
    中美的互视心态的确在出现历史性转变,过去时时刻刻担心美国“亡我之心不死”的中国人,开始变得或者豁达了,或者盲目乐观了。而原来什么都不在乎的美国人,突然有了草木皆兵的紧张,不仅中国“间谍”多多。而且在美的中资公司也都像是“鬼鬼祟祟”。
    我们的确搞不清楚,这些警惕里面有多少成分是美国人的真实担忧,有多少成分是那些管事的美国人“装蒜”。那些奇奇怪怪的莫须有罪名或许只是他们搞经济保护的幌子。
    全球化进程不断对国际分工的格局施加新压力。长期处在产业链最上游的美国渐渐有了危机感。过去帮助美欧跨国企业完成最佳性价比制造环节的中国公司,如今有一些开始了技术创新竞争以及投资竞争。它们被认为触动了美欧利益最肥厚的那一块,对一些国家的核心竞争力构成潜在威胁。
    这样的情绪同星期三的那份报告有多少直接联系我们不清楚,但它们的确在西方世界、包括在美国精英中蔓延。我们可以体谅它们的出现,但为平息它们,决不能以中国的单方面让步做代价。如果我们纵容这些情绪肆无忌惮地转化成行动,那将意味着世界自由贸易体系倒下一张关键的多米诺骨牌,意味着中国坐视中资企业被肆意欺侮,坐视国家利益被随意侵犯。
    美国需要克制在竞争和挑战面前的惊慌,克制用“安全手段”帮助本国公司解困的邪门歪道。美国需要以诚实的态度应对新兴国家的产业升级,美国如此强大,回旋空间充裕,美国要想永保世界第一位置,必须靠真功夫,而不能靠损人利己的投机取巧。
    作为GDP总量刚到美国一半的发展中国家,要对美国苦口婆心讲如何正确竞争的道理,这真让我们意外,甚至都不好意思。美国实在不应耍赖皮,它有堂堂正正的资本,它应当像个超级大国的样子。
    无独有偶,美国国际贸易委员会星期三决定对中国光伏产品征收反补贴和反倾销关税,中国的报复措施必将出现。如果说美国真的在“衰落”,本文说到的两个委员会绝不是这种“衰落”的阻止者,而是推波助澜者。

选项

答案 An American committee, the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission (UCESRC) issued a 156-page report on Wednesday, which gives detailed descriptions on Chinese companies’ investments in the US. It claims the security and economic risks posed by China’ s large-scale investments as a "potential Trojan horse", which shocked us. A simple reaction: the US’s investment in China is of a much larger scale. Many companies have closeties with Washington. If we use the logic in the report, there is a great number of "Trojan horses" in China. Unexpectedly, Chinese people have turned a blind eye to these "Trojan horses" these years and local governments in China are busy courting foreign investment. If so, Chinese people should be wary of these "Trojan horses" and find out their potential threat. What counts is that China doesn’t have an organization like the UCESRC, which does nothing but destroy opportunities for mutual economic cooperation. Even if there were such a commission which issues a similar report, saying that Microsoft and IBM may overthrow China, those who have written the report would be condemned. The mentality with which China and the US see each other is changing. The Chinese, who have worried about US’ s ambition of subjugating China, have become positive, if not blindly so. However, the Americans, who had no fear in the past, have become over sensitive, speculating as to the motives of Chinese companies. We don’t know whether these concerns are genuine, or whether the accusations are just a disguise for trade protectionism. Globalization has affected the international distribution of industries. The US, which used to be at the top of the chain, is gradually feeling a sense of crisis. Chinese companies, which used to help their Western counterparts lower costs and boost efficiency, began to compete with them in terms of technology and investment. They are considered to be taking away the very interests of the US and the West and posing a threat to their core competitiveness. It is not clear how such a mentality connects with the Wednesday report, but such a mentality is spreading throughout the West, including in American elites. We can bear their appearance, but China cannot make one-sided sacrifices to eliminate it. If these suspicions became actions, it means that the free trade system would lose a key domino and that the Chinese-funded enterprises will be bullied and national interests are infringed. America should restrain panic in face of competitions and challenges and dishonest means to help do mestic companies overcome difficulties by means of "security methods". America need to be honest to face the upgrade industries in emerging countries. It is so strong that it has more maneuvering room. If the US wants to remain as the world No. 1, it can only rely on its real strength rather than opportunism. As a developing country whose GDP gross is less than half of America, China even earnestly talks how to compete properly with America, which makes us surprised and even embarrassed. The US actually should not be opportunistic because it has exact capital, so it should appear as a superpower. On Wednesday, the US International Trade Commission decided to issue anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders against China’s photovoltaic industry. China will certainly respond. If the US is indeed in decline, then these two commissions referred in this artrcle are not prohibitors of this decline, but accomplices to this.
