As long as China’s commodity demand grows at a higher rate than global supply, prices will rise. And the rapid economic growth that China’s leaders must sustain in order to lift enormous numbers of people out of poverty – and thus prevent a crisis of legitimacy – places a floor under global food, energy, and mineral prices.
只要中国商品需求比全球供给增加更快，商品价格就会上升。而中国领导人必须维持高速经济增长从而让大量人民走出贫困——并摆脱合法行危机——这决定了全球食品、能源和矿产价格不可能下跌。
