Whether the economy in 2011 will progress quickly depends totally on the political situation in the Asian region as well as America’s hegemonic ambition and military expansion.

The present world economy has yet to fully recover and inflation remains in many countries, especially in developed ones, which makes it even harder for them to shake off the crisis. Looking at the few hundred banks in the U.S. that collapsed in 2010, the world’s largest economy still finds it difficult to shake off the effects of the economic crisis. Other nations are also facing such a situation. The world economy may still go through 2011 in instability.

Firstly, the economic crisis of developed nations cannot be alleviated simply by relying on technological innovations anymore. This is usually done through shifting the crisis away. In the past number of years, crises would be eliminated with increased product functions and lower product cost through technological innovation and moving excess inventory through developing countries. Now, as science and technology are continually improving, the competitiveness of products from developed nations are being effectively restrained. Under such circumstances, the exports of developed nations would suffer a severe setback. Therefore, the speed of economic recovery will be slower, and also harder, than in the past.

Secondly, the present international political situation remains tense. America has never given up of its ambition to dominate the world. For the past many years, it mainly targeted nations where the world’s oil is gathered for domination by might. The political strategies and military actions surrounding the Middle East region have stretched on for years, causing the nations with the highest oil reserves in the world such as Iraq to have no choice but to submit under a long period of gunfire. The U.S. will then turn its attention to the political situation and military actions in the Asia Pacific region. This is where we see America’s hegemonic actions beginning. The Asia Pacific region has a higher population, its market potential is greater, and it is an ideal place to which the U.S. shifts its crisis. Its methods remain the same — to continue making waves using the North-South Korea relationship in an attempt to turn the Asia Pacific region into an American colony. America’s constant targeting of North Korea is also an attempt to make oblique accusations in order to use this as a warning to others. Therefore, next year will be the key year for the Korean-U.S. relationship, and also the key year for the relationships between the U.S. and other nations in Asia. Once America makes any moves politically, its military actions will follow swiftly. The Asia Pacific region’s economic development will quickly feel a very strong impact.

Therefore, whether the economy in 2011 will progress quickly depends totally on the political situation in the Asian region as well as America’s hegemonic ambition and military expansion.


2011年的经济是否得到很快发展,完全取决于亚太地区的政治局势,取决于美国的霸权野心与军事扩张。

  目前世界经济危机尚未完全复苏,世界各国的通货膨胀依然存在,尤其是发达国家,想要摆脱危机就更加艰难。从2010年美国倒闭的几百家银行来看,世界经济大国美国仍然难以摆脱经济危机的影响。其他国家也同样面临这样的局面。2011年世界的经济仍然可能在摇摆中度过。

  其一,发达国家的经济危机,现在已不再是仅仅依靠科技创新来缓解,更主要的是危机转嫁。过去很多年可以通过技术革新,提高产品功能,降 低产品成本,通过发展中国家来转嫁过剩的产品。现在国际性的科学技术不断提高,发达国家的产品竞争力受到了有效的遏制。这种情况下,发达国家的出口贸易将 严重受挫,所以,经济的复苏速度要比以往慢的多,也更加艰难。

  其二,目前的国际政治局势依然比较紧张,美国称霸世界的野心从未放弃。多年来,主要是针对世界石油集中的国家进行武力征服,围绕中东地 区的政治对策与军事行动长达数年之久,使目前石油储量居世界首位的伊拉克等已经在长期的炮火中无奈屈服。美国接下来就会誊出手关注亚太地区的政治攻势及军 事行动,霸权行动已经开始行动。亚太地区人口较多,市场潜力较大,也是美国进行危机转嫁的理想地区,办法仍然是故技重施,继续借朝韩关系兴风作浪,企图是 要把亚太地区变为美殖民地。对朝鲜屡次咬着不放,也是想要指桑骂槐,进而起到杀鸡儆猴的作用。因此,明年就变成了朝美关系的关键年,也是亚洲其他国家与美 国关系的关键年。美国一旦政治上有所行动,军事上就会迅速跟上,紧随其后的是亚太地区的经济发展受到强烈冲击。

  所以,2011年的经济是否得到很快发展,完全取决于亚太地区的政治局势,而亚太局势则取决于美国的霸权野心与军事扩张。
