BERKELEY – As 2011 draws to a close, there are growing signs that Asia is becoming caught up in the global slowdown, dashing hopes that the region’s economies would “decouple” from the prolonged recession in Europe and America’s lackluster recovery. China’s export growth is slipping, owing to faltering demand in Europe, which has surpassed the United States as China’s largest foreign market.
伯克利——在2011年行将结束之际，有越来越多的迹象表明，亚洲正在陷入全球减速，该地区经济体可以与欧洲和美国复苏乏力的长时间衰退“脱钩”的希望越来越渺茫。中国出口增长正在下滑，主要原因是超越美国成为中国最大海外市场的欧洲的需求在消退。事实上，中国制造业活动出现了近3年来的首次下滑。依赖中国生产者和欧美市场的其他新兴亚洲经济体的反应也相当强烈。
