近来东亚的一些工业化国家正在不断增加他们对美国的贸易顺差额。比如1986年这一顺差额为303亿美元,而1987年则增加到377亿美元。过去,他们的出口商品基本上都是劳动集约型产品,但目前他们在高技术生产方面却日益提高了竞争力。这特别是南朝鲜,它达到了相当快的工业化速度。 Recently, some industrialized countries in East Asia are continuously increasing their trade surplus with the United States. For example, the surplus in 1986 was 30.3 billion U.S. dollars, up from 37.7 billion U.S. dollars in 1987. In the past, their exports were basically labor-intensive products, but at the moment they are increasingly competitive in high-tech production. This is especially South Korea, which has reached a fairly rapid pace of industrialization.
