近日,关于中国GDP总量超过日本成为全球第二的消息被境外媒体大肆渲染,声称此举象征着中国的崛起以及全球经济实力和政治实力的转移。好在国内的媒体和各界人士相对比较理性,纷纷在这一历史性的时刻反思中国经济的各种弊端。这说明中国在逐渐走向成熟,能够居安思危,而不是自我膨胀。可是,西方媒体为何屡屡给中国戴“高帽子”?其实道理很简单,就是为了让中国在全球经济再平衡中承担更多的国际责任。如果让中国为美国的次贷危机和债务消费等造成的全球经济不平衡买单,中国目前还没有能力,也似乎没有义务。但如果呼吁中国减少环境污染、减少碳排放、减少资源掠夺式开发,则非常有必要,因为中国经济粗放式发展的模式难以为继,中国有必要反思目前的经济发展模式,有必要重新审视 Recently, the news that China’s gross domestic product has surpassed Japan to become the second-largest in the world was greatly exaggerated by the overseas media, claiming that the move symbolizes the rise of China and the transfer of global economic and political power. Fortunately, the domestic media and people from all walks of life are relatively rational and have all at once reconsidered the various drawbacks of the Chinese economy at this historic moment. This shows that China is gradually maturing, and can be vigilant in peacetime instead of self-inflating. However, why the Western media often wear “high hat” to China? In fact, the reason is very simple, in order to allow China to assume more international responsibilities in the global economic rebalancing. If China is allowed to pay for the global economic imbalance caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States and its debt consumption, it seems incapable for China to do so. However, it is very necessary to call on China to reduce environmental pollution, reduce carbon emissions and reduce predatory exploitation of resources. Because of the unsustainable development of China’s economy, it is necessary for China to reflect on the present economic development mode and revisit it
