Similarly, President Barack Obama's administration has just brought yet another action against China in the World Trade Organization – this time focusing on illegal subsidies that China provided to exporters through so-called “common service platforms" and “demonstration bases." If China intervenes to push its currency lower, US political support for anti-China trade actions will undoubtedly intensify, pushing the world's two largest economies closer to the slippery slope of protectionism.
类似地，总统奥巴马政府刚刚在世界贸易组织中采取了针对中国的新行动——这回的目标是中国通过所谓的“公共服务平台”和“示范基地”向出口商提供的非法补贴。如果中国采取干预措施使人民币贬值，美国对反华贸易行动的政治支持毫无疑问会有所加紧，让世界前两大经济体朝着保护主义越走越近。
