To be fair, some of the most obvious data have indeed suggested fragmentation of the global economic order. The dormancy of the Doha Round of WTO talks, the public deadlock of some G-20 summits, and stalemates at the United Nations Security Council seem like sufficient evidence to proclaim that the status quo is imperiled – even if facts beyond the headlines belie that consensus.
平心而论，某些最显而易见的数据确实表明全球经济秩序正在分裂。世贸组织谈判多哈回合陷入冻结，二十国集团峰会频现僵持，联合国安理会也处于僵局之中，这些证据似乎已足以证明现状岌岌可危的观点——即使新闻标题背后的事实与这些共识并不相符。
