一、亚洲的崛起令人刮目相看 近几十年来,亚洲的面貌发生了很大的变化。随着亚洲各国内部进行的社会和市场变革,亚洲在世界舞台上扮演着越来越重要的角色。这首先体现在亚洲国家经济的高增长率上。日本、亚洲四小龙和中国的经济增长率都先后达到了10％左右。而俄罗斯、东欧国家则在转型期间使经济遭受重创,例如波兰,它的经济要恢复到改革前的水平还需要十多年的时间。中国在改革开放以后出现了持续的社会福利水平的提高。这种提高的特殊之处在于它是全部人民生活水平的提高,改革中很少出现大的利益受损失的集团。 First, the rise of Asia is impressive. In recent decades, the face of Asia has undergone great changes. With the social and market changes that have taken place in various Asian countries, Asia plays an increasingly important role on the world stage. This is above all reflected in the high economic growth rates in Asian countries. Japan, the Asian four little dragons and China’s economic growth rate has reached about 10%. While Russia and Eastern European countries hit the economy during the transition period, Poland, for example, will need more than a decade to resume its pre-reform economy. After the reform and opening up, China experienced a sustained increase in social welfare. The special feature of this improvement is that it is an improvement in the standard of living of all the people. In the reform, there are seldom any major groups that lose their interests.
