The failure of both US and Chinese leaders to recognize the mutual benefits of an investment treaty is disturbing. Going slow on such an obvious “win-win” reform suggests either that each country attaches little importance to its growth imperative or that they are unwilling to address that urgency by coming to grips with the increasingly insidious trust deficit that divides them.
美国和中国领导人都没有认识到他们在干扰能投资条约所带来的共同好处。在这一显而易见的“双赢”改革上进展缓慢表明，要么双方都不太重视增长问题，要么双方都不愿纠正让双方陷入分歧的日益严重的信任赤字从而解决这一紧迫问题。
