中国“热钱”、美国“冷市”

中国“热钱”、美国“冷市”

  “和气生财”将再次被证明是一条颠扑不破的“真理”。

看我们风度翩翩的总理大臣希拉里女仕，上任后首访北京的微笑外交，温柔得当，自然而然的顺应中国胡景涛主席“不折腾”明示，直接了当，就事论事，和睦声中，为美国今天这伸手不见五指的黑暗市场，带来一丝亮光，准确的说应该是希望。希望中国的“热钱”能够继续注入美国的那一片紊乱的“冷市”。

说中国政府有钱，那是名不虚传。光是去年“奥运会”那一手，就看得各国的大脑们是目瞪口呆。说实在一点，老百姓能看得见摸得着的，是人人都想当“官”，为啥？当官待遇好，有钱。若再进一步，要是钱用不完，没准还能去腐败腐败。所以话说回来，若政府无钱，谁想当官？而当官无钱，又怎能去腐败？道理就那么简单，无钱怎么能够使得“鬼推磨”？

说美国市场寒冷，也是有目共睹。金融、房地、制造、零售、失业，那一款不是正在“创造历史”？就说那深不见底的股票市场，就像那悬崖边上的蚂蚱，蹦得再高，能落到原地就是最高水平了，而大多都会栽到坎子下面去的。弄得广大的小百姓，以为在市场上捡到了“冷宝”，回到家里才发现抱回一堆无人要的“破铜烂铁”，也就只好以“舍财免灾”自嘲了。

在我稀稀拉拉的记忆里，似乎历来寻求中国帮助、要钱的都是那些“亚、非、拉第三世界”的贫穷国家。那些年头，一听报道诸如什么某某国家元首来访之类，老百姓们在“沾”了一点异国风情、臆想遐造之余，往往都会来点实在的打趣解嘲，“呵呵，要钱的又来啦”。当然，穷哥们帮穷哥们，无可非议，反正大家都吃不饱。怕就怕那钱又“打水漂”了，我这里还是在捏紧裤腰带省吃俭用，他老兄拿到钱就游山玩水、玩花梢的去了。

看今天，世界像是翻了转，太阳好像真的是从西边升起来了？

“第一世界、超级美国”，居然也肯放下身架，到“第三世界、贫寒中国”来“要点钱”？真真假假，假假真真，那是政治谋略，咱老白姓玩不转，但咱知道“饿死的骆驼比马大”。实际上，比马还小的老中，是填不上骆驼的窟窿的。说白了，这就是利益，奥总统早就在就职典礼上定下的基调，“共同利益”(mutually interest）。为了这“共同利益”，请老中不要落井下石，并帮忙扯一条骆驼后腿去做烧烤，那些个不着边际的人权，喇嘛，现在都是小菜一蝶，上不了桌啦。至少，今天咱“社、资”可是一家人嘛。

所以说，经济是基础，有钱就是牛！不对吗？

 

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is urging China to continue investing in United States Treasury bonds and said Sunday that country's continued investment in the U.S. is a recognition that the two countries depend on each other.

"I certainly do think that the Chinese government and central bank are making a smart decision by continuing to invest in Treasury bonds," she said during an interview with the popular talk show "One on One." "It's a safe investment. The United States has a well-deserved financial reputation."

In order to boost the economy, the U.S has to incur more debt, she said. "It would not be in China's interest if we were unable to get our economy moving," Clinton said. "So by continuing to support American Treasury instruments, the Chinese are recognizing our interconnection. We are truly going to rise or fall together. We are in the same boat and, thankfully, we are rowing in the same direction.

"Our economies are so intertwined, the Chinese know that to start exporting again to their biggest market, namely the United States the United States has to take some very drastic measures with this stimulus package, which means we have to incur more debt."

With the export-heavy Chinese economy reeling from the U.S. downturn, Clinton has sought in meetings with President Hu Jintao, Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi and Premier Wen Jiabao to reassure Beijing that its massive holdings of U.S. Treasury notes and other government debt would remain a solid investment.

Yang responded that China wants to see its foreign exchange reserves — the world's largest at $1.95 trillion — invested safely and wanted to continue working with the United States. "I want to emphasize here that the facts speak louder than words. The fact is that China and the United States have conducted good cooperation, and we are ready to continue to talk with the U.S. side," Yang said.

During her trip to China, Cinton's emphasis on the global economy, climate change and security were meant to highlight the growing importance of U.S.-China relations, which have often frayed over disagreements on human rights. Authorities in Beijing face a year of sensitive anniversaries — 20 years since the crushing of the Tiananmen Square democracy movement and 50 years since the failed Tibetan uprising that forced the Dalai Lama into exile.

As she wrapped up her trip to China, she also met with women rights advocates and attended church after a day of talks on Saturday with Chinese officials focused on economic and climate change cooperation rather than differences on human rights that traditional feature prominently in U.S.-China talks.

The session at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing gathered female lawyers, academics, environmental activists, health care workers and entrepreneurs to highlight the growing leadership role of Chinese women.

On Saturday, Clinton and Yang said regular dialogue on economic issues would now include terrorism and other security issues. Details will be finalized by President Barack Obama and the Chinese president at an economic summit in London in April. "We have every reason to believe that the United States and China will recover and together we will help lead the world recovery," she told reporters at a news conference with Yang.

Ahead of her talks, Clinton said China's controversial human rights record would be largely off the table, a blunt admission that startled rights groups and dispensed with standard diplomatic tact.

Activists complained Saturday that Chinese police were monitoring dissidents and had confined some to their homes during Clinton's two-day visit. Several of those targeted had signed "Charter 08," an unusually open call for civil rights and political reforms.

Along with cooperating on the financial crisis, the U.S. wants China to step up efforts to address threats from nuclear programs in Iran and North Korea, and the tenuous security situations in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

With China surpassing the U.S. last year as the world's leading producer of greenhouse gases, Clinton said she and Chinese officials had agreed to develop clean energy technology that would use renewable sources and safely store the dirty emissions from burning coal.

Visiting a new gas-fueled power plant in Beijing, Clinton urged China not to repeat the "same mistakes" that Western countries had made when they developed.

Beijing was the last and perhaps most important stop on Clinton's itinerary, although she sought to assure officials in each capital of the new administration's intent to reengage with them.
