This one faces a trade embargo in the world’s largest market, receives neither foreign aid nor any other kind of assistance from the West, is excluded from international organizations like the WTO, and is prevented from borrowing from the IMF and the World Bank. If these external disadvantages are not debilitating enough, this economy also maintains its own high barriers on international trade (in the form of state trading, import tariffs, and quantitative restrictions).
现在来看看另外一个国家。这个国家在全球最大的市场上面临着的贸易禁运，既得不到国外援助，也没有西方国家为其提供其它形式的支持。这个国家被排斥在世贸机构这样的国际组织之外，也无法从国际货币基金组织和世界银行获得贷款。如果这样的外部因素还不够困难，该国经济还为国际贸易设置了严重的壁垒（采取了国家贸易、进口关税和数量限制等多种形式）。
