l’excellent Leon Hadar<\/a> qui parle de la menace chinoise d’un 9\/11 \u00e9conomique contre les USA, du moins dans de nombreux esprits fi\u00e9vreux \u00e0 Washington. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00ab Since Chinese accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), the debate here has focused on whether China was ready to play by the rules of Western-style capitalism.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Now that China seems to be playing by those rules as one of its companies asks that Unocal’s shareholders approve the proposed deal, the question is: Will the political elites in Washington respond to China’s economic rise by trying to use the power of the state to prevent Chinese capital from flowing into the American market, and hence pose a clear challenge to the same rules of free-market economy that the US is supposedly promoting worldwide?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb "Resorting to isolationist trade policies would be ineffective, disruptive to markets and damaging to America’s special role as the world’s leading advocate for open markets," US Treasury Secretary John Snow reminded US lawmakers, responding to their pressure to "do something" to prevent CNOOC from acquiring UNOCAL and to force China to lift its capital controls. Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan also sounded a cautionary note during an exchange with lawmakers, arguing against moves to punish China over its exchange rate system.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb The debate on China reflects the angry nationalist mood in the US capital where growing frustration over the failure to end the anti-American insurgency in Iraq seems to be spilling over into other foreign policy issues.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb At the same time, discontent over the problems facing the US economy including the decline of manufacturing industries, the outsourcing of service jobs and the expanding US trade deficit (including with China) has led lawmakers to search for foreign scapegoats.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
