Canceled railway and hydroelectric projects in Myanmar, and riots in Vietnam over China’s move to drill for oil in disputed waters, reflect the backlash that the country’s resource hunger can generate. But China is also certain to learn from its mistakes, and its leaders have a clear vision of where to place their long-term economic bets.
可以肯定，中国也经历了不少挫折。缅甸取消了铁路和水电项目、中国在争议海域开采石油引发了越南暴动，上述事件显示出这个国家对于资源的饥渴可能带来的抵制反应。但中国也一定会从错误中吸取教训，并且中国领导人对将长期经济赌注下在哪里有着明确的目标。
