But, if China were to bring the US to it knees, it might bring itself to its ankles in the process. China would not only reduce the value of its reserves as the dollar’s value fell, but it would also jeopardize America’s continued willingness to import cheap Chinese goods, which would mean job losses and instability in China.
但是，假如中国真把美国踩在脚下，自己的脚可能也会因此扭伤。美元价值的下跌不仅会让中国的外汇储备贬值，还会使美国不愿继续进口便宜的中国商品，而这些便宜的中国货对于中国来说意味着失业和不稳定。
