But neither Europe nor the US is in a strong enough position to take best advantage of these new markets. The West must again begin to out-invent, out-innovate, and out-skill the rest of the world if it is to seize the opportunities that Asia presents.&nbsp;Indeed, unless the West significantly expands its capital investment in engineering, science, and new technologies, it will be marginalized by countries whose governments back their innovators with hard cash.
但欧美两地似乎都尚未准备好以最佳状态投入这些新市场。如果想抓住这些亚洲市场机会的话，西方必须再度开始在发明，创新和技术等方面超越其他地区。事实上，除非西方大规模扩张其在工程，科学和新技术上的资本投资，否则就将被那些政府大力支持创新者的国家边缘化。
